Saying Redhat is based on Fedora just seems wrong. I know there was discussion about this when the simpler version was posted and I think I understand that, today, RHEL is downstream of Fedora. But Redhat existed before Fedora so it still feels wrong to say Fedora is based on Redhat.

"Fedora Core 1 was the first version of Fedora and was released on November 6, 2003.[15] It was codenamed Yarrow. Fedora Core 1 was based on Red Hat Linux 9."

    And putting RHEL anywhere but top line is sacrilege. Its actually, literally, specifically an IBM-purchased company's product. The Linux part is free, but there's corporate "special sauce" thrown in that's closed source.
