Yes not because they work for Red Hat but because I value people 
dedicating and invest their free time to the project more then I value 
people that get paid to work on Fedora and are doing so on corporate 
time and those individuals usually leave the project while they either 
change jobs within their company or in case of Red Hat leave when they 
stop working for Red Hat.

And I'm not envious of Red Hat employees I seriously doubt that I will 
get the joy or satisfaction I get from working in the Fedora project by 
working on RHEL for Red Hat.
I've already been working with RHEL and it's clones for close to decade 
now as a part of my dayjob so I guess in that case only the name on the 
pay check would change but I would be doing same or similar stuff.
