They're all part of what's released as an OS called something-or-other
Linux.  Whether that be Fedora, Ubuntu, or dozens of others.  Just the
same as a lot of software is called Windows software, despite never
being written by Microsoft.  Over time, software *for* Linux, or
software *for* Windows just gets called Linux software or Windows
software.
