Difference between vFabric RabbitMQ and plain old RabbitMQ

What are the key differences between the vFabric RabbitMQ and RabbitMQ besides that vFabric is commercially supported by VMWare?

From the source:

We also produce a commercially licensed release of RabbitMQ under the vFabric™ brand. This includes all of the features of the open source version and contains additional commercially focused components. Support agreements are also available from Pivotal for vFabric RabbitMQ.

So basically, it's pretty much the same other than just nice packaged version together with all the other Pivotal suite of software (that may be commercial or open source). RabbitMQ is under Apache license so it needs to abide to its "open sourceness". Pivotal provides consulting and training on its products and that's where the bulk of their income comes from. Another similar example is Cloudera which follows the same model.
