You can always DL the enterprise SRPMS from redhat and build them yourself rpmbuild --rebuild bind*.src.rpm is really not that big a deal. As the fedora.redhat.com site says, it is still opensource and RH does provide the SRPMS for DL even though they could make the source much more difficult to get and still be in compliance with the GNU lic. IIUC. I have a hard time figuring out what everyone is so bent out of shape about for the cheap/poor folks ( I am both right now ) there is still great software out there to be had very cheaply and often times with no $. Change comes hard and Red Hat is in a difficult position. I think they have found a decent balance between the folks who always pissed an moaned about redhat using ancient versions of stuff, the big corps that need a stable platform that does not change too often, and the SOHO user who does not need enterprise strength support but wants to be able to afford a samba server or two. I also do not understand the thought process that leads people to switch to Suse. Seems like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
