See clause 2 (a) of the > GNU GPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html All distributions heavily patch their packages - that's a fact of life not Red Hat sin (and btw your reading of the GPL disagrees mine - 3.a applies not 2.a) Fedora is actually one of the nicer least patched distros. One of it's official targets is to move closer to upstream projects. If I remember well they even asked esr what fetchmail version they should ship to please fetchmail maintainers.
