- We are dedicated to free software and content.
|
| |
-
|
| |
- Advancing software and content freedom is a central community goal,
|
| |
- which we accomplish through the software and content we promote. We
|
| |
- choose free alternatives to proprietary code and content and limit the
|
| |
- effects of proprietary or patent encumbered code on the Project.
|
| |
-
|
| |
- Sometimes this goal prevents us from taking the easy way out by
|
| |
- including proprietary or patent encumbered software in Fedora. But by
|
| |
- concentrating on the free software and content we provide and promote,
|
| |
- the end result is that we are able to provide:
|
| |
-
|
| |
- * releases that are predictable and 100% legally redistributable for
|
| |
- everyone;
|
| |
- * innovation in free and open source software that can equal or exceed
|
| |
- closed source or proprietary solutions;
|
| |
- * and, a completely free project that anyone can emulate or copy in
|
| |
- whole or in part for their own purposes.

- We care about excellent software.

|
| |
- The Fedora community creates many of the technical features that have

| |
- made Linux powerful, flexible, and usable for a wide spectrum of
|
| |
- millions of users, administrators, and developers worldwide. We
|
| |
- recognize the status quo is worth changing to empower additional
|
| |
- end-users, or to create a more flexible and powerful environment for
|
| |
- building new solutions on the free software we provide.
|
| |
-
|
| |
- We also believe that these changes are best developed in direct concert with
|
| |
- the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Staying_close_to_upstream_projects[upstream
|
| |
- software communities] whose work is part of the Fedora distribution. We work
|
| |
- with the upstream in cases where we find opportunities for improvement, so
|
| |
- all free software users benefit — even if they don’t use Fedora directly.

- Our feature development is always done openly and transparently, and anyone
