How about the following scenario: RH/AOL wants to patch the kernel. The patch has to go through Linus. He is not on AOL payroll, so he gives it the same treatment as he gives patches from SuSE or from you. RH/AOL is not happy. It tries to push. Does not succeed, forks out its own Kernel (yes, making the source available as per GPL, but no longer asking Linus what he thinks about anything). Result? speculate.
