Was it really a fork? I was under the impression that they were just directly rebuilding the RH packages, and maybe adding a couple of new ones. Like CentOS, but it's another company doing it and profiting by free-riding on RedHat's work.

I can understand RedHat being pissed about that.

They do fork the kernel and add their own packages for some stuff but yeah, 90% of userland is just recompiled RedHat.
