There is many stuff being developed primarily by Novell and included by 
Red Hat. Evolution for example and I could come up with countless 
examples everywhere right from kernel upto the GNOME stack for things 
developed by Red Hat and included in Novell, Sun, Apple etc. Libxml for 
example. Its not a dog vs cat fight. We can coordinate and compete in 
better terms.So its should be easy enough to dimiss silly speculations 
like that. Greg mentioned about a Fedora Foundation press that might 
provide more information and it unlikely to go much beyond that.
