Red Hat is a good open source community citizen, and has contributed tons back, without a doubt. However... out of the total lines of code they distribute, if you start to consider Apache and the GNU tools, and various libraries, I wonder what the percentages look like? I think all things considered, it would reflect well on Red Hat for all they have done, but still likely be a small-ish percentage.
