So I saw on this post the upsetting information that fedora is blocked on cuba, and I Wanted to check if the same was true of the downstream distributions, in particular open SUSE tumbleweed, as well.

Edit: By what it seems they put it there more as a way to reduce liability(once the us trade embargoes seem to include most anything with US developed technology, although I do not understand that very well or if it does apply to open source stuff), in case the US comes a looking, because it does not describe any tools or measures to prevent it, in fact it even states that it is not geoblocked anywhere.

    OpenSUSE is not downstream of Fedora, however SUSE has the same thing in their terms of use

    I’m gonna keep using Fedora anyway, there’s nothing else quite like Fedora Kinoite

      PS: forgive my ignorance, I thought that any fedora based distro, would be considered downstream of Fedora if that’s not the case what would be the actual definition of downstream? Honestly asking here, just wanna understand better

        That’s the thing though, SUSE distros aren’t Fedora-based, they’re entirely separate distros, they just share the RPM package management system
