Because of Fedora's goals of being once open, always open.  Anything
Fedora should be built up from OpenSource software.  This includes the
software that Red Hat users to put it together, there is something of a
push to open that software too.  (note that I'm speaking as a person,
NOT RED HAT)  Using proprietary software to facilitate the project is a
nonstarter IMHO.
