In fact, RH betrayed the OSS community by not trying to exert at least some pressure on the big players in the mainboard industry, willing to implement UEFI with Secure Boot adhering to MS's constraints. RH was probably the only big OSS vendor with powers to fight against that pervert situation in that every boot code out there needs to be signed by MS. They probably say, it's only 99 dollars, so what? It's isn't worth the hassle, let's take the most convenient option, which works for us. We don't care for you, outlandish operating system (OSS) vendors ... very sad. Norman.
