Whitebox Linux might be a good idea. [...] On the other hand it seems a bit nasty to take RedHat's work so blatantly.
The Whitebox approach isn't nasty at all - it's exactly what RedHat wanted. Their position has always been that they want their work to be Free, but had had enough of attracting flack/support requests from people who thought RedHat owed them something just because their name was on the download edition. Hence they use 'Fedora' rather than 'RedHat Personal Edition'; Whitebox is just the same principle.
