You appear to have a rather rigid definition for a fat tree. Generally however, a fat tree is any tree where the links get fatter the more you approach the core.

A skinny tree is a tree where all links have the same bandwidth/speed. Any tree that has some speed increase towards the root can be called fat. Fat trees with no oversubscribed uplinks, impossible to be congested are rather rare.
