OEL for "free" is a calculated move to poach yet more users from Redhat, and in this specific instance, also _directly_ targeted at CentOS users. btrfs on its own doesn't make up for a fraction of the ill-will they've garnered in stealing users from Redhat by purposely undercutting Redhat support costs. Not only biting that hand that feeds you but tearing it off and then beating you with it doesn't earn much good will. Perhaps if they were actually putting out their _own_ distribution instead of leeching off Redhat's work and then _making money off of it_ it perchance might be a different story.
