Just read that Fedora is now available to Syrians due to changes in US restrictions. There's a Wiki page from Fedora about "Embargoed nations" (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Embargoed_nations), which reads:
"This page addresses restrictions on embargoed nations, groups, and individuals as a result of US federal law. The legal risks and responsibilities of the Fedora Project are assumed by Red Hat, Inc. as our primary sponsor. Because Red Hat is a US-based commercial entity, it must abide by all laws and regulations of the US, along with its other responsibilities. Therefore, the Fedora Project is bound by these laws and regulations as well".
What I read here: Red Hat owns Fedora. Yeah, the company with ties to genocide and the US-Israel military-industrial complex (https://www.is-boycott.com/en/c/red-hat).
There are way better options than this, no matter how much community-driven the distro is.
