Are you talking about this Helix:
<https://helixcommunity.org/>

It was at one time part of Fedora Core, they
have supported and continue to support open
formats (though the Realplayer side of the project
also uses the closed Real codecs).

The Helix RPM took about 10 seconds to download
here.  The current release hasn't changed for a
while, but last time I looked at a Realplayer nightly
they had moved on quite a bit (including modern
Alsa support).

And what's wrong with wanting to make some money?
Redhat do that too.
