They are saying that their business is not about the bits, but is instead about the knowledge of what the bits are and why they are that way.
This seems to be exactly the opposite of the ideals of FOSS software where you try to spread the knowledge as widely as possible.
This might be quite accurate, if you do not consider the 'upstream first' commitment.
As acme said earlier on in this thread, if it is not accepted upstream it is not easy at all to get things into RHEL. Get the patches upstream, and the process into RHEL goes smoother.
And that is all about the bits and spreading knowledge to the FOSS communities.
