Debian does it without sponsors, heck they even almost voted to forbid
sponsorship at least once.

Given Red Hat does not provide support for Fedora, you are completely

It's not about Market or Red Hat, its about making a distribution that
can actually be used without going back to Linux From scratch, where you
have to build and configure each single piece of software on your own.
