Mmm. As far as I see it, there is not going to be a distribution. They are going to install a system for each of their customers according to his needs. They are not going to sell boxes like they used to do, or like the SuSE model. So basically, the concept of having three Red Hat CDs, inserting the first one into your CD and installing a complete system from it is probably out. As for what they install for their customers, I guess to comply with the GPL they will have to provide those customers the source upon request. If they create closed source stuff that runs on Linux, well, it's their prerogative. My guess is that small organizations that merely run their web server and CVS repository on Red Hat will simply switch to a different distro. Large organizations may go for this new Red Hat model, and Linux hobbyists will just disappear.
