(I don't speak for Red Hat but I do speak as someone who's written about
any number of certifications.) The Red Hat certification is on skills,
it's a hands-on program. While history and licenses are important
issues, they really don't belong in a skill-based certification unless
there is some kind of scenario-based question testing your understanding
of what you can and can't do.

Certification is about knowing HOW to do things. Ethics, licenses, and
history are things that people should be interested in and pursue on
their own. There's certainly plenty of places to learn about them, both
freely available and not.
