From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Obviously, the best solution is that the gets settled out-of-court. However, Fedora has had a long time to listen to the OBS devs' request to stop packaging broken software, so maybe they won't listen to reason.
Fedora needs to get their heads out of their asses and kill the Fedora Flatpak repo.
