We get a kick ass distro for only the cost of the work involved, and they get lots of bug fixes, and bug reports with very detailed reproduction steps. They also get a very large base of potential users when businesses move up to wanting/needing support. Replace a few rpm's and you have a RedHat system ready for a paid support contract. And where would Oracle's unbreakable linux be if CentOS hadn't done most of the heavy lifting first?
