It obviously made sense to RedHat when RedHat was a company of ~100
employees. But it does not make sense now that RedHat is a larger
company of over 600 employees.
A lot of things that made sense during the dot-com bubble don't make sense
now...
Looks like this is turning into a flame war. I'm not part of Red Hat's
decision making process, so I can't help you with what motivates them to
do what they do. I was just giving an alternative view to "Red Hat needs
to give us no cost software supported forever..."
