[ See the continuing theme I made on "this is why it helps to know what
is a ".0 like release" in the Fedora Core world?  ;-]

Why feel guilty?  Red Hat puts a lot of people on GPL stuff they don't
ever see a dime for, stuff that goes into the stock kernel, GCC (even,
gasp, non-Linux targets!), etc...  So why feel guilty?

Red Hat has always been, and always will be, a GPL company.
That's all they do, GPL, GPL, GPL, it's their blood.
Whether it's Linux or otherwise (and they do a bit of otherwise too ;-),
it's GPL.

You can get support from Red Hat without paying a dime too.
