It seems like the previously good folk at Redhat are playing hardball
with the CentOS community. It sure feels like that to me.

Does CentOS depend on RHEL and FC? In some sense, probably yes. But the
blade cuts both ways, and RH/FC get help from the CentOS community.

The $64K question is: What would the CentOS community do without Redhat?
Would our GNU/Linux hosts shrivel up and die? I don't think so. Let
Redhat mount whatever FUD campaign they think is necessary from their
corporate perspective. We'll adapt and survive.
