Fedora - I am sure you've heard of Fedora Foundation which RedHat created - one of it's
goals is "... By providing a non-profit entity to organize and manage

You mean the Fedora Foundation that Red Hat shut down less than a year
after it was formed with a note stating "Red Hat *must* maintain a
certain amount of control over Fedora decisions, because Red Hat's
business model *depends* upon Fedora. Red Hat contributes millions of
dollars in staff and resources to the success of Fedora, and Red Hat
also accepts all of the legal risk for Fedora." ?

is an interesting read when discussing corporate control vs. non-profit
foundations.
