I’ve been hearing about it a lot over the last few days, but I don’t exactly understand what’s going on. What’s going on with Red Hat, and how does it affect Linux users?

It can’t be retroactively amended, that’s not how contract law works. The GPL isn’t something you sign up for and you have to accept updates. It’s a model license that people are free to use instead of writing their own. While a lot of people do license their software under “GPL version X or later”, that is not mandatory and it would severely hurt GPL adoption if it were made mandatory in a future version.
