Fedora hasn't been the free version of Red Hat in quite some time. Instead, Fedora is akin to the bleeding edge development version, and CentOS was the free version (with unlimited installs) of Red Hat. Going forward, Fedora continues to be bleeding edge, CentOS is the preview version for the next release of RHEL, and RHEL development license is the "free" version of RedHat, albeit with only 16 possible free licenses per organization.
You can still go with (barf) Oracle Linux to essentially get RHEL for free.
