Wouldn't it be easier to just link to the FSF's definition of "Free
software"?

http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

And not to start a flame war, I don't know why you single out Red Hat
users, since Red Hat releases all it's in-house code as GPL and has in the
past stopped distributing packages that are not "Free software" (mp3
players as an example).  If you would like to discuss the differences
between Red Hat and other companies that distribute Linux with non-Free
software (Lindows and SuSE come to mind) I would be happy to do that
off-list.
