Why?

I thought you had to pay for RHEL. Why give away a preview like this?

Is RedHat expecting people like me to QA and recommend their commercial products? Or are they considering changing their EULA and licensing for RHEL?

I would support the product if I could use it like GPL/GNU software. If the EULA says otherwise then I won't support or recommend the product. Its up to RedHat. I'm sure their marketting department can pull in many more profitable sales than my opinion.
