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.
