Please do correct me if I am wrong.
you are not wrong - but not fully right. I would say that it is a
commercially
supported distribution. As mentioned before, they are not selling the
distro -
they are selling support.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is commercially supported by Red Hat, and is a
commercial product with a range of software and hardware certifications
including third party ISV applications. Red Hat also offers other management
features via a web service called Red Hat Network
<
http://rhn.redhat.com/>that is not available to such rebuilds. Also,
layered products such as Red
Hat Application Stack, Red Hat Directory Server and Red Hat Satellite are
only supported on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions. Many
hardware, software and security certifications are not valid on the
rebuilds. Rebuilds often have a substantial delay in releasing
updates<
