But now, RedHat Linux has now become the Fedora project, and from what I
understand from the FAQs, this is a community project sponsored by
RedHat. Does this mean that RedHat is really showing its commitment to
freedom and taking the community into confidence, or is this only a gimmick?


Fedora is meant as testing ground for new technologies which would
then be incorporated into RH Enterprise Linux. Fedora is still
maintained by Redhat engineers, although it has (supposedly) greater
community involvement.

The following link has a humorous take on the community involvement
aspect of Fedora. Do read it :-)
