A rough translation of the principle of Ubuntu is "humanity towards others". Another translation could be: "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity". (lemmy.ml)

Ubuntu is completely free lol. This is only about the community repo. Like if RHEL would also support EPEL which they dont

It took Canonical about four times as long (twenty years vs five) to start doing this.

Dissatisfaction with RedHat's introduction of RHN (in 2000) was arguably a significant factor contributing to Ubuntu's rapid growth when it was first released (in 2004).

I would go so far as to say it was THE key factor to Ubuntu's initial success in 2004ish.
