If you mean a certified and commercially supported project then yes you 
do have to pay for it. If you want just the software bits they are 
available from Red Hat's online mirrors.

See my other mail on details about this.

Its a mutually beneficial relationship. You get a entirely free (in both 
sense) cutting edge distribution every few months maintained by Red Hat. 
Red Hat gets some feedback from the community which has a positive 
effect on both Fedora and RHEL.
