Maybe it has something to do with the CentOS project and not with the fact that are only idiots out there who can't contribute to the project.
1) RHEL is the intellectual property of RedHat, subject to the licenses of the work of OSS giants 2) RH will seek to maximize RH shareholder equity ... 3) RH has hand-selected certain RH employees to perform the CentOS project, not more, not fewer 4) to make it more difficult for competitors, there are in Lamar's words, sniggles 5) RH pays partial lip service to "we stand on the shoulders of OSS giants" 6) RH looks at CentOS as a farm club of future rate-payers
