In which case it's not unconstrained FOSS development, which you have been using to justify the "you can have it in any colour as long as it's black" attitude. You can't have it both ways.

Fedora/RH doesn't equal all of FOSS. Linux is obviously well populated with distributions and software created with no expectation of being sold, and no expectation that anyone would be willing to buy it, in any case.

So, when Red Hat or Ubuntu or whoever do have a dependence on customer sales, that's exactly the linkage between developers and customers that has no real substitute elsewhere in FOSS, where customers don't exist. The abandonment of Gnome 2 is the best example of that.
