Of course.  What's your point?

Fedora creates regular scheduled releases of a conglomeration of 
selected projects on a regular schedule.
After the Fedora release has been run through the test/release cycle by 
the Fedora users (us) it becomes the next version of RedHat (roughly).
Then CentOS takes the source packages of RedHat, puts their name on it 
and re-distributes it (legally..).

So all the assembly work is done by Fedora, all the testing is done by 
the Fedora users and all  the rewards are taken by people who (only) use 
CentOS while at least people who use RedHat pay for support.
