NSA is primarily responsible for selinux. Fedora and Red Hat were early adopters but clearly not the only distributions offering SELinux. Pulseaudio seems to have been adopted by all of the distributions for what appears to me to be obvious reasons. Obviously Lennart is being paid by Red Hat. Abrt is for reporting/debugging to help drive the reporting process. I wonder if they actually would incorporate abrt into RHEL. More to the issue, it's not that I am saying that Red Hat has no influence over Fedora but I specifically said that I don't know what influence it asserts. It probably would have helped the conversation if you had some specific examples of where Red Hat is exerting control over the development process and possibly indicating where this might be interfering with the independent decision making processes of the Fedora Project.
