I think (legally) you have to pay for the subscription whether you patch
or not.......

There are RHEL copies like whitebox?, but if your clients are thinking
along these lines I would suggest Debian or Fedora.

Or better yet don't deal with these clients.....I would walk away if
clients asked me that.....

Ugo,
  I know that one of the RHEL clones might be better
in this situation.  But I am asking because when I
come to propose RHEL to clients, they sometimes ask
what their situation would be legally if after a year
or two, they wanted to keep their systems running but
without paying support.  Would they be forced to shut
down these systems (I think this is the case with
Windows Server which is probably why they are asking
since they don't want to be in the same trap)?  Or
could they continue running them and just not get
updates from RHN?  Thanks for your input.
