It's free, as in really really totally free. You don't need to run 
rhn_register, just run up2date directly. In Fedora, up2date uses yum, so you 
may want to put a mirror that's close to you and fast. Alternatively, you can 
just use yum. 
For better explanation, look that this URL (and its related links):
