For my part I was assuming that the hypothetical buyer might order their employees not to work on Fedora any more if they wanted to keep their jobs. I further assumed that not all of the employees would be in a position to immediately resign and would not be able to participate in the new Fedora for a noticeable period of time. The particular issue with Redhat employees is that there are a lot of them contributing to Fedora and doing a lot of work for Fedora. If my employer banned employees from working on Fedora, I think I would be the only contributor (not counting people who just file bug reports or lurk on the mailing lists) taken out. I think takeover of Redhat by some company hostile to Fedora is possible, but pretty unlikely. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
