Impact
|
This change will impact customers who relied upon discovered data that was previously mapped to the Original Publisher but has now changed to map to the Distro Publisher. Typically this may result in Lifecycle dates changing for the mapped products since the Distro Publisher provides specific support terms to the Distro version of the product. Also, for some of the Products, Flexera has reviewed and changed the Taxonomy Categorization.
The spreadsheet OSS Example Remapping V1.xlsx shows an example of evidences remapped from the Original Publisher to the Distro Publisher Red Hat.
The spreadsheet OSS_Distro_Remappings.xlsx contains the Open Source and Embedded products which have already been changed as part of this effort.
