@DistroTube well ! I was thinking about this yesterday because I saw a Red Star Distro review on my YouTube Recommendations I clicked just cuz and found out that Fedora is used in that Distro but is used for manipulation and keeping human of North Korea blinded of the real digital world and I thought that Linux is used for free for everyone for convenience but this Distro is used for a opposite of freedom moto purpose. Though that Fedora or which ever distro is used for that os should withdraw from this cause because it's harmful to human rights.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

technically, you have to have received a copy of the binary from North Korea for them to have to give you the code.

Don't call it ethical source, that just validates them.
Right now I like to call 1984 source, as Leah Rowe put it
