You need to get out of the 'static market' mindset. Yes Red Hat is doing some great work, but worrying about Ubuntu taking it is foolish.
By the time Ubuntu have enterprise sales volume comparable to the Red Hat figures you have mentioned elsewhere, the linux enterprise market will be many times the size it is now.
The result of this is that Red Hat will get a large increase in sales volume, although their percentage share of the _linux_ 'pie' will probably go down.
