If RHEL is costly then try CentOS, it's free.

See, RHEL uses GPL and other opensource software so it has provide(mostly) their sources. So CENTOS guys subscribe to RHEL and then they get sources and package it into CentOS distro. So centos is mostly identical to RHEL.

You can get more info in CentOS site.

Best is to contact RedHat directly and explain your situation in detail...

Wrong. The CentOS developers do not 'subscribe to RHEL'....they get the source packages from Red Hat's repository just like ANYONE can, and build them. They also remove upstream branding and RHEL artwork. As you said, "You can get more info in CentOS site"....if you had looked there:
