RHEL is not open source in that I can download and use it without
paying a support fee for it.  Piggy-back support clauses are standard
with regard to "the software is free however you may only use it so
long as your support contract is paid up."  Not a bad thing; even
RedHat has to feed itself (in a corporate sort of way.)

That is where open source product lines differ: commercially
"available" open source and "truly" open source.

If I am mistaken, regarding either above, please enlighten me.
