While probably true, I'm not sure how much Fedora can be owned really. We should give credit where credit is due though: IBM has, together with Intel, Red Hat, and a few others, been very supportive of the Linux ecosystem since early on. Their scalability work, their GPLing of code, and upstreaming of said code, did a lot for people to look at Linux seriously. There are obviously people inside IBM who understand this stuff. So there should be hope.

I haven’t followed the news. Sounds like IBM is bad news for Fedora long term?
I don't want to be hyper critical but was there ever a project that got better after being acquired by IBM?
