The word "Product" has all sort of connotations around being something
"customers" buy, which doesn't fit well with what Flatpak is. However,
Redhat is sponsoring my work on Flatpak in the sense of letting me work
on it (i.e. not in my spare time) and paying my salary. However, other
companies (and individual people too) are working on flatpak, so its
not Redhat *only*.

Its also not the a "Red Hat Product" in the sense that it works only
with redhat distros. We try very hard to be distro-agnostic. In fact,
that is one of the major reasons for flatpak to exist.
