I have been reading on The Document Foundation blog about the ODF and how Microsoft basically gaslighted us all into believing the OOXML is truly an open standard when it actually doesn't even use the ISO's standardised version of strict OOXML as a default in his office suit, which obviously makes ODF the better choice; but I am not knowledgeable about the PDF.

From what I've found, it was developed by Adobe up until 2008; since then, it is an "open standard" supposedly developed by the ISO.

Does this mean the Portable Document Format is legit the way ODF is? If not what would be the open alternative to PDF that ODF is to Microslop's?

I am learning about community-based Linux distros as they are my preferred choice compared to corporate ones. And when I get to Fedora, what I see from the fence is a sofisticated, well-supported OS.

However, seeing that it is sponsored by the Red Hat corporation, the question arises: could Red Hat eventually take control of the project? I suppose the answer comes down to how much weight Red Hat actually has on the development of said distro. From what I know, it has employees dedicated full-time to it.

Let's rephrase the question and say that the Fedora project ditched Red Hat from its development due to some irrepairable decision; how viable would the continuation of the OS development be as compared to, for example, Debian, which is also community-based but, as far as I know, has no such backing from a corporation?

Please, note that, while I am indeed a Debian user, I am not trying in any way to shit on Fedora. I myself am curious to try it out as I have recently arrived to Linux.
