No its not an exact description of CentOS. CentOS is a full rebuild of the underlying source code. It is NOT rebranded Red Hat built and certified binaries.
I'm saying that the act of rebuilding from source is different _product_. CentOS is not a Red Hat product offering in any form. It's not certified by Red Hat and does not get access to subscription services Red Hat sales you when you get RHEL.
An installed RHEL system with with binaries built and certified by Red Hat that has been modified post-install to hide the fact that it was originally installed on the system as a branded Red Hat product. Those are the systems at issue here in this clause. These situations are absolutely most definitely distinctly different than choosing to install CentOS.
