While it's true CentOS is free and exactly the same (minus a few packages that needed to change RHEL to CentOS), RHEL is exclusively a licensed distribution and is a commercial product.
- giancarlostoro 8y ago> RHEL is exclusively a licensed distribution It's still GPL and you still get the full code, hence CentOS. The benefit to licensed RHEL is the support.
- owaislone 8y agoFree does not mean non-commercial in this case. Free software can be sold and it would remain free as long as all the source code is made available to the buyer and they are allowed to modify it to their needs.
