Red Hat to loosen its handle on fedora

While it was conspicuous that Red Hat had its say on everything in fedora and was steering it in its own way, the results apparently haven't been real good. The community interest has severely declined. Ostensibly, Red Hat seems to have accepted it and opened its eyes. Now, Red Hat is ready to slightly loosen up by "turning over copyrights and development work to an outside entity called the Fedora Foundation" to "assure broader community involvement in Fedora-sponsored projects".

This sounds obvious in the wake of new distributions (ubuntu, especially) that have become hugely popular, have come up with 6 month release schedule and have greater community involvement.
For anything, I doubt how much intense participation this move of RH will receive to its fedora initiative, given that everything on fedora seems to be going the Red Hat way. It's still the iron that is being hammered out on the anvil to serve for the RHE Linux and there's no real community feeling when that happens. Nevertheless, this one's a good move by Red Hat. ;)
