If your business case resolves around being able to freeload on the work of others, then there’s a serious problem with the business case.

That applies to IBM/RHEL too. They aren't paying for every bit of software that is packaged in the distribution.

So they can't use that argument against others.

Also people who are currently not paying are not going to suddenly start paying for RHEL subscriptions.

A non-paying CentOS user is not a real loss for RHEL. But people dumping CentOS for a non-RHEL clone is definitely going to impact their future revenues as they are losing mindshare/goodwill/easy migration etc.
