I suspect doing so would cut heavily into their revenue stream, as many 
business IT operations types who are told they have to run RHEL because 
___ requires it would just install it and never pay for support.   by 
keeping the free version separately branded, however slight the actual 
difference, discourages this except by those in the know.
