All distributions heavily patch their packages - that's a fact of life
not Red Hat sin (and btw your reading of the GPL disagrees mine - 3.a
applies not 2.a)

Fedora is actually one of the nicer least patched distros. One of it's
official targets is to move closer to upstream projects. If I remember
well they even asked esr what fetchmail version they should ship to
please fetchmail maintainers.
