Fedora license

You are also responsible for compliance with foreign law requirements applicable to the import, export and use of Fedora software and technical information. However, that term is misleading because any end user can easily be a redistributor of the Fedora operating system, because of the way that free and open source software work.

When choosing your next Linux distro, your first consideration needs to be whether you need an enterprise Linux distro or a community Linux distro. Linux distributions are available as community versions or enterprise versions. A community distro is a free Linux distro primarily supported and maintained by the open source community. An enterprise—or commercial—Linux distro is available through a subscription from a vendor and does not rely solely on community support.

The direction of an enterprise distro is set by a vendor, based on the needs of their customers. Think about it like this. If Linux is free and open source, why would you want to pay for a commercial distribution?

Enterprise distros, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, are designed to meet business needs and concerns. With an enterprise distro, you get patches, updates, upgrades, expert technical support, and access to training and resources. Also with a commercially supported distro, you get the benefits of the latest open source innovation with the stability and support an enterprise needs. Red Hat has a team of engineers to help improve features, reliability, and security to make sure your infrastructure performs and remains stable—no matter your use case and workload.

Every technology in your IT stack needs to work together. And the workloads need to be portable and scalable across bare metal servers, virtual machines, containers, or private and public clouds. They need a modern, security-focused operating system with long-term support. That operating system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux. With a standard operating system underlying your workloads, you can easily move them across environments—wherever it makes sense for your business.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux gives you a consistent, stable foundation across hybrid cloud deployments, along with built-in manageability and integration with the broader Red Hat management and automation portfolio. Developers and Linux enthusiasts flock to Fedora for the latest features and the opportunity to directly collaborate with Red Hat engineers. The Fedora community has thousands of users, contributors, and supporters, who interact through various online forums, email lists, and wikis to support each other.

With a rapid development and release cycle, Fedora provides the latest technology on current hardware platforms.
