Actually the RH example is interesting to me in another way. Their enterprise distros are still open source. They are really charging for support. You can already get free distributions of the RH AS distro if you do not care about official RH support. (whitebox linux and I have heard rumors of others) So RH is actually walking the fine line between Open source(free beer) and profit pretty well. What I am curious about is if their current price structure will hold, since by my calculations to go enterprise with RH would be very nearly as expensive as MS if not more so in some cases.
