I have no fear of Redhat, no uncertainty or doubt about their intent. 
Like any moderately large corporate entity, their goal is not to spread
open software but to build a revenue stream based on open software.  My
goal as a full-time hobbyist and parasite is to remain far removed from
contributing to their revenue stream until such time as they can provide
a better version of what I can get for free.  I haven't detected any
liklihood of that happening.
