Red Hat could use PostgreSQL anytime it wanted, without purchasing the company, and compete with Oracle.
They already tried that with "Red Hat Database."

Redhat still employs significant PostgreSQL developers. AIUI they get to program what they like, but they're also a contact point if one of Redhat's "Enterprise" customers has a problem with their PostgreSQL database (or Redhat Database, whatever they want to call it).
