OK as you wish, marketing list is the wrong place - and a lot of Ambassadors 
did not read the marketing list

And yes, RedHat does major work and give much money - but Fedora would not 
exist in the way as it is, because of the work and the commitment of all the 
free contributors and i know and i feel, i dont want it marked as a RedHat 
SubProject. This is wrong!
