Now that stance I can agree with

I am not a lawyer, but not a conspiracy theorist either. What I see is
that fedora and debian/ubuntu are at 5.3.28. There is certainly a
reason, which is not founded only on what Google say. Those distros
have lawyers.

Now why did blfs include version 6.x at a time? The reason is that it
was an error. When it was realized that it was an error, it was
reverted to version 5.3.28. Those sorts of things happen.

It was version 7.5 to 8.4, that would be an extensive error covering a few YEARS.

If you research the license you will find that it is basically GPL3.  In fact it mentions that GPL3 applies several times.

Debian/raspberry pi is at 5.1.29-9 to 5.3.28.  BTW I have never been a fan of fedora, but I did use redhat 7.0 back in the day, not the recent enterprise version
