I would love to see my tool widelly used, and have no restrictions on distribuition. But I won't like evil things like the RedHat new business position, "closing" the distro. I don't want this for my tool.

I'm sorry, I don't like pointless arguments, but I can't let that stand. "Closing" a distro sounds to me like they took code that used to be open source and are now distributing it as proprietary only. They've done no such thing. They continue to host (and fund) the Fedora Project, and moreover SRPMs for their enterprise distro are available, and you can even get them in packaged form from White Box et al. In fact, were you to purchase it you could re-distribute the entire thing for free, minus certain trademarked images. That's the beauty of open source.
