That's a very important point.  I've heard many times people claiming
that Red Hat based distros, like CentOS, are leaching off Red Hat and
financially harming them.  That simply can't be true since RH customers
are paying for support, whereas CentOS "customers" must help themselves.
Two completely different things.

Again, an excellent point.
