No, it doesn't require *anything*.  That said, CentOS does provide
professionalism and support, but by no means is it a requirement.
you expect people to use OSS and be treated like crap? being treated like crap is the competitor's job.

I would agree though, it sounds like RH is a better choice for your
needs, and more specifically, a better fit for your method of
interaction.

You're not going to find many volunteers who react well to being cursed
at or otherwise abused verbally.
and you're not going to find too many people in business that want to ask a question and are blatently put off.
