You are assuming (incorrectly) that Fedora Base is Core + Extras.
That's not the case.  Fedora is anything that is under the Fedora
Project umbrella.  Period.  That's why it's not a trivial task to
announce an official Fedora project.

Having a repository that allows packages under a non-commercial within
Fedora goes against the goal that Arjan already explained.  Users should
be able to take all of the Fedora repositories, make physical media out
of it, and sell it.

It also opens up some doors I personally would rather avoid.  For
example, we can't have Extras packages depending on non-commercial
packages.  And that's something reviewers and maintainers would have to
watch for adding extra burden on the reviewing process.  We have a slow
enough review process as it is...
