If Red Hat ceased to exist, another group would step up and meet the needs of 
the folks that Red Hat abandoned.  Red Hat is as dependent on Fedora users and 
groups like Centos as anyone is on them.

The community doesn't owe Red Hat anything.  They are only doing what they are 
required to do by the GPL.  The wisdom of the GPL has become crystal clear in 
my mind over the past few days.  If the linux kernel and the multitude of 
other software on which Red Hat depends (and obtains without cost) were 
licensed under a BSD-style license, we could be in a very different (and much 
worse) situation today.
