Or instead, you could actually contribute to the folks who are actually
building RHEL by buying a subscription.
It's pretty cheap - if you're a commercial buyer see:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/desktop/
for the desktop version.
If you are a developer (or even if you only play one on TV), you can get
JBoss Developer Studio, which includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux, for
$99.00. See:
https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/developers/jboss_developer_studio.html
If you are a student or the parent of a student, you can get an academic
subscription for $30 for desktop and $60 for server. See:
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/education/academic/individual/
If you are going to take advantage of Red Hat's work, it would be cool
to pay them for that work.
