I see that this is as an impulse for Fedora so that we as users do not leave RedHat after the news ... even so I still think how good it is for the linux community this whole situation makes us a good shakeup.

Personally, I found this "no-cost" promise lacking substantial details. If RH doesn't verify everyone requesting developer subscription (forcing to prove identity), the 16 installations limit is easily circumvented by multiple registrations. If they *do* request identity verification (i.e. copy of ID, phone, email, physical address... etc etc, up to last will in favor of RH), then I am even more uneasy having voluntarily provided them with personal data which are treasure for any marketing purpose they could imagine. Also, I can still expect they will again change their mind close to 2021's end. In short, I have hard time trusting RH in such a situation.
