Going along that lines, the idea of paying RedHat for RHEL is for
companies that want that warm fuzzy feeling they get with having the
ability to open a support ticket with a company.
The company I work for has service contracts with RedHat and
Microsoft, yet, in the 7 years they've been in business they have
never once opened a ticket with either company. I've tried convincing
them to switch all the RHEL servers to CentOS, but they say paying RH
& MS is like paying for insurance.
