RHEL 3.0 is supported with errata releases for five years. Any given
fedora release does not.  If we purchase one copy of RHEL 3.0, we'll be
privy to those updates through the usual channels. Granted, the updates
are already freely available, but I consider a yearly "contribution" a
fair trade for the value I get from an OS that's supported for five years. 
If we get bigger, then we'll purchase porportionally more "copies".
