It is around becase RHEL is popular, and open source.
And non-free
It /is/ free... you pay for support only.
Wrong. RHEL is opensource, but it is not free. You can't get RHEL
binaries anywhere.

You are confusing non-free and commercial. They are not the same. Non-free is a well established term for proprietary software. FSF, Debian and even RPMFusion is using that term as such.

RHEL is commercial but not, non-free. The complete source in the form of SRPMs is available in the Red Hat public ftp server. The free availability of binaries is never a requirement for any of the free and open source licenses.
