Leper? From http://fedora.redhat.com:

The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open
source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may
eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product
of Red Hat, Inc. 

The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build
a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software.
Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce
time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year with a public
release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate
in the building of Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside
participation than was possible in Red Hat Linux. By using this more open
process, we hope to provide an operating system that uses free software
development practices and is more appealing to the open source community.


-- Nothing quite says "leper" like sponsoring a totally free distro and
having an engineering team work on it.
