From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, I don't think so, as Red Hat only source revenue is RHEL and cloud, not fedora. And RHEL still open source, just you can't get the builded binary from red hat, but you can build it yourself, as open source means the code is available for public, and it's available for public, and most of the codes are in CentOS stream, https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src
And most of the Enterprise linux downstream could inspect and use rhel code, just the binary and how to build is restricted, it's still adhere with the GPL/LGPL in my opinion
