You are assuming (incorrectly) that Fedora Base is Core + Extras. That's not the case. Fedora is anything that is under the Fedora Project umbrella. Period. That's why it's not a trivial task to announce an official Fedora project. Having a repository that allows packages under a non-commercial within Fedora goes against the goal that Arjan already explained. Users should be able to take all of the Fedora repositories, make physical media out of it, and sell it. It also opens up some doors I personally would rather avoid. For example, we can't have Extras packages depending on non-commercial packages. And that's something reviewers and maintainers would have to watch for adding extra burden on the reviewing process.
