The only thing free from Red Hat was Fedora, a beta product, for the desktop.

Again--incorrect. I ran Red Hat's product for free for several years. Not Fedora (though I did run that also), but Red Hat. What Red Hat charged for was support. Anyone could downloads and run the OS.

Then you obviously broke their license and terms of service. Surely you knew, too. If you want to run Red Hat free and clear you have/had to run the CentOS clone, most everyone knows that.
