Through a recent change, Centos license terms seems to exclude use in the drone flying community - "use in connection with.. unmanned air vehicle systems". This raises a few questions that I have been unable to find any active discussion on.
  • Is this RedHat/Centos only, or will this exclusion of a community spread to other distros?
  • Is there any argument for a position that the wording actually doesn't apply?
  • Is this wording compatible with the definition of FOSS ("free field of endeavor") or is Centos no longer FOSS?
  • Is there a known reason to exclude this field of endeavor?

Any pointers??
