The Digital Public Good Alliance (DPGA), a group created by UNICEF to promote sustainable development through open source solutions, has recognized Fedora Linux as a digital public good.
For a product (not necessarily an operating system) to be recognized as a digital public good, it must have open source software, open data, transparent AI models, open standards, and open content.
Fedora Linux matches all of this, and also stands out from other software platforms in some ways. Among them:
- promoting best practices and adhering to standards;
- developing an innovative platform for hardware, clouds and containers, allowing software creators and the community to develop customized solutions;
- free distribution, in which the distribution kit comes with all kinds of permissions (to use, copy, modify, merge, distribute, etc.);
- compliance with international and domestic laws, as well as maintaining confidentiality;
- sharing user information only in limited and recognized ways;
- no harm done;
- not just following the recommendations on the privacy policy, but also ensuring its availability for partners.
