You have the cause and affect mixed up. :-) The reason for Fedora is *not* to stop selling boxed products -- it is to allow open source development to proceed at its more normal (faster) pace. Tying open source development to a boxed product (which needs to have a certain shelf life) slowed things down.
Maybe, but the communication provided by RH is not very clear for me, sorry (and I did read the redhat sites and the one dedicated to fedora)
