Well put. For a non-technical person, your brief clues them in to the differences between RHEL and CentOS. And the reason both coexist.
I do however agree with Valeri in that you probably (c|s)hould mention Debian in there somewhere. I realize you left Debian out because there is no official "enterprise" support entity as there is with Ubuntu. So at that point, maybe it's not worth mentioning Debian?

Seems odd to mention Oracle's name at all in the link without pointing out that they have a product very similar to CentOS with the option to purchase support.
Surely a fair, balanced and proportionate investigation explores the functionality of all the systems before determining the result ?
The web page begins "..... This article will make the business case for “Enterprise Linux” distributions like Centos and RHEL."
That does seem biased because at that moment of restricting the result to '2 operating systems only' no consideration of the alternatives have been made *AND* the comparison criteria remains unknown and undeclared.
That methodology is not how a senior court judge would decide on an issue.
