This is exactly what the GPL was written for. If they want to make changes, 
they are perfectly welcome to, thanks to that license. Would you rather have 
software that you are not allowed to make changes too?

This doesn't bother me too much, I would like to continue with my current 
desktop, and I will still have the option. I will just simply choose not to 
use RH WM installation. I praise them for exercising their rights under the 
GPL.
