Isn't that what RHEL is, in different words obviously.

I suppose, but you know you’re what you’re buying when you sign up for RedHat. I was trying to imagine a scenario where free OSS project does that, like Kubernetes or React.

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but opinions are my own

I totally disagree. Red Hat patches/maintains things regardless of whether people pay for it. Everything is always available open source. There are numerous derivatives of RHEL that get these for example.

The money you pay for Red Hat stuff is for support. There are always free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer alternatives of red hat products.

It might very well be my misunderstanding, so I apologize, but doesn't RHEL get security updates that are unavailable to the "rest of us" for a bit?
