AFAIK, it doesn't matter if a distro helps another or not. As per Arjan van de Ven's comment, I would think any code they release in terms of header files based on original GPL source is itself GPL, and therefore includable/usable/modifyable/redistributable by any distro.
Red Hat (or insert other large distro vendor here) might not want to explicitly "help" their little competitors, but they have appeared to solve this problem (according to other posts) and there's no reason you can't base your own work off of that...
