Well there is no free redhat anymore, no free suse, and probably no free
other things too.  FC is as far as I understand things, a public
beta/proving ground for RHEL, with some contributions by volunteers and
most of the decisions (if not all) made by redhat since they want stuff
to end up in a state where they can sell another RHEL version.

If you want something that won't ever stop giving you a free version, use
Debian.  They don't have a bottom line to worry about.
