Ah, welcome to the fun that is trying to figure out exactly what Fedora is[1].
[Fedora|http://www.fedora.us] was a community project to build high-quality 3rd party [RPM]s for RedHatLinux. They packaged a lot of stuff that RedHat wouldn't, couldn't, or didn't. When Red Hat decided to become more community based to separate themselves from their commercial RedHatEnterpriseLinux distribution, they merged with the Fedora Linux Project to become the FedoraProject. The [old Fedora Linux Project website | http://www.fedora.us/] [2] is is now the home of the FedoraExtras project.
-[Fedora] is also a digital library framework, which preceeds the use of the name by RedHat. See http://www.fedora.info/history
.shtml. However, please note that the hat also had the name first
