> actually (according to RedHat) NOT allowed to have their distribution installed on a server where you do not have a subscription

While this has been discussed to death in the past, I believe what this actually means there is no law which prevents you from installing RHEL binaries wherever you like, copyright swat teams are not going to bust into your office like Brazil, but Redhat is under no obligation to support those installs without subscriptions, work on your tickets or continue to have you as a customer of their pre-built binary updates. Everything that Redhat works on is open source/free software, otherwise CentOS wouldn't exist.
