I hate to resort to the "voice of authority" here, but... I'm fairly certain I have a much greater insight than you into: - Fedora/Red Hat's packaging of upstart vis-a-vis SysVinit - Fedora/Red Hat's stance on the inclusion of GPLv3 software As it stands, Fedora/Red Hat does not care that upstart (or other core Linux software) is GPLv3; furthermore, SysVinit is *not* packaged as an alternative init system.
