Well, not quite.

You have to consider that there are plenty of RHEL users that aren't
Fedora users and that they participate in the RHEL beta testing
programs.  At the moment I'm testing RHELv5.3 currently in beta.

It is more about testing how the pieces fit together rather than testing
the individual pieces.  RHEL is sufficiently different in that respect.

Yes, Red Hat charges for its services not for the software.   Thus the
existence of CentOS and others.  People wanting a distribution with a
long shelf life but not needing or not wishing to afford the cost of the
services.
