Discussion on:

Fedora to be signed by Microsoft

Is ARM maker the instrument of Microsoft to suppress the freedom of the business world? Why Microsoft is dictating the world.

Can the supporters of the Open Source, like Red Hat, Novel, or Google can take action to protect the consumers from the greed of Microsoft? I think if the courts and lawmakers is given the light on the implications of Microsoft's move to suppress our freedom will be prevented. Similar to what had happened with the case of Oracle vs. Google on Java, Red Hat should not pay.

I feel betrayed by Fedora, an OS which I have admaired and promoted since the times of Fedora Core 3 release. Claudication to Microsoft denies and destroys all the ideals and predicates of software freedom.

I will not recomend or buy hardware that requires a Microsoft license to function. I will cease to use Fedora.
