Even if every piece of source in Gnome would be (c) Copyright by RedHat,
the license *is still GPL*. And that's definitely good. They pay some
people to work full-time on Gnome, they provide boxes and web space and
gnome is progressing really faster because of that. And what they get back?
Just a little publicity. They are working for Free Software just like us!
