I work everyday in Debian derived distros, but in my mind Fedora was the free "version" of RedHat. Now that the "enterprise" RedHat is free the big question is what can RedHat give you that Fedora or CentOS cannot? What can be valuable for IT and DevOps is some kind of management tools for managing some IT infrastructure (servers, desktops, workstations, network equipment, etc). Maybe also some tooling to help manage upgrades, common installation scenarios like Apache-MySQL-PHP-Workdrpess and alike. I have to admit I totally don't know what are the paid features of RedHat, I'm super curious.
