Red Hat clearly possesses exclusive legal rights to Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux, namely the exclusive legal right to distribute RHEL in binary 
form, and most importantly, the accompanying exclusive legal right to 
pass along the ISV certifications associated with the RHEL binary 
distribution. Red Hat uses a legal vehicle, a cleverly crafted license 
it calls a subscription agreement, to enable it to possess these 
exclusive legal rights in a product that can continue to be marketed as 
open source.

I an NOT  talking about shipping some propreitry software .....I am 
referring to supporting ...so please dont mis quote me or be more off 
topic  !!

"The goal of The Fedora Project 
<http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html> is to work with 
the Linux community to build a *complete, general purpose* operating system"

"Complete" which means fedora can be used in any enviorment that 
includes data center or enterprises... many people  companies specially 
ISP run  on  fedora in their data center .... I guess redhat  does not 
treats fedora as lab rat for upcoming rhel solely
