Yes, RedHat deserves the credit for denying access to the binaries of open source work, even to the community responsible for it even existing.
Since I just made a point about the upstream projects, let me respectfully disagree with your statement : free software is about freedom not free lunch.
CentOS, ScientificLinux, ClearOS, etc. are living proof that Red Hat did not take away our freedom.
Moreover, I doubt that the free software community is worse off with Red Hat having a profitable business model, but this is another question.
