Gotcha!

And Red Hat takes the effort on itself to mantain what it's published on RHEL for you
to use, indirectly, through CentOS; including fixing bugs, reporting things upstream
and being (directly or indirectly) involved in projects they package in the various RHEL
releases.

How many of us, complaining here about a supposed "breach of trust", are involved
in making CentOS better and not just taking what others do and make money on top
of it? I never participated in anything CentOS related, I happily use it but you should
know what you are buying when you choose to use a (once) volunteer-based project.
