Due to their comparative popularity, it makes complete sense to me. You don't have people in HN comments for a new Fedora release going "Wait is this about the Digital Access Project?"

What does "not a good look" even mean in this context? Getting tired of this phrase's overuse tbh. "Think of the optics" fell into disuse and I can't wait for this one to join it.

it's a kind way of saying they're being assholes?

I wouldn’t go as far as saying they’re being assholes. Fedora is a nice project after all. It’s just a bit sad to see the asymmetry here, especially since Fedora is so much more well known than FEDORA.

A sibling commenter is right though: the Legal page is linked from the footer, I was looking in the wrong place.

Red Hat is the bigger party here. Their minimization of this issue seems a little like bullying.

There is no issue except the one third-parties (such as HN commenters) are making out of it.

Fedora and FEDORA reached an agreement a long time ago. Unless I missed something, neither party has disparaged the other in that time. The parent comment is making drama out of literally nothing. Neither side cares so why is parent OP trying to stir shit up?

As the kids say, "not a good look."
