This makes no sense. To elaborate: It's obvious that my comment referred to RedHat. IBM owns RedHat and I'm sure they can influence this sort of thing but they should realize that RedHat is where it is because it is a company that in the past could be relied upon not to do such stupid things. Telemetry doesn't serve the users, and the kind of users that are customers of RedHat will certainly not appreciate this sort of bait-and-switch and may well leave for other platforms. IBM won't lose any business on account of this but they're burning up value that they paid good money for when they acquired RedHat.

Ceci ne pas une IBM-owned-project

Edit: This was a response to the earlier version of your post that only said “This makes no sense”.

Fedora has a very close relationship with RedHat, far more so than other community projects and RedHat is in turn owned by IBM. To all intents and purposes the Fedora community is on a leash. Many of the Fedora maintainers are RedHat employees. There are financial and infrastructure ties as well.

Their legal page even refers to 'Red Hat’s Fedora Project' so as far as I'm concerned they're one and the same and can be dealt with as such. I'm not sure I am following your cleverness, it might be more productive to spell it out, and when making quotes in French you should at least try to do it right ;).

You are explaining that IBM controls fedora in response to my post pointing out that IBM controls fedora.

You should check what you wrote.

Patents.

It's actually dropping year-on-year to the point where it is now 500 million or so.
