Doing it *for* Redhat?

No, I don't think so. The people who assemble and maintain the Fedora project do it for the same reasons that any developer offers his/her services: as a contribution to the Open Source community. I don't think that Redhat is getting anything out of having its name associated with the Fedora Project, and in fact, I'd say that the project is quite fortunate to have Redhat as a sponsor.

I've been slowly migrating my RH distro to Fedora, but I've also decided to give Gentoo a shot. This isn't an anti-RH move, it's just an effort to see what else is out there. Overall, I appreciate the availability of Fedora (though I don't understand some of the packaging decisions), and hope that it continues.
