What is the free version of RedHat?

The Fedora Project is a Red Hat sponsored and community supported open source project. Its goal is the rapid progress of free and open source software and content. Several people have pointed out the CentOS is a Free drop-in replacement for RedHat Enterprise Linux.

Why Red Hat Linux is not free?

It is not “gratis”, as it charges for doing the work in building from the SRPMs, and providing enterprise-grade support (the latter is obviously more important for their bottom line). If you want a RedHat without licence costs use Fedora, Scientific Linux or CentOS.
