Fedora is RH for the individual, but AFAIK RH has stated that it's not planning
to ensure an upgrade path between releases, and the support lifetime of the
product is rather short.

Well, as the other project is basically rebuilding Red Hat's source RPMs (which
by the GPL RedHat doesn't have to provide to them), they'll always be slightly
behind the times (a bad thing if a bug is spreading).

I can't say I like Redhat's RHEL license... in certain areas it borders
dangerously close on a GPL violation.  It does impose additional limitations on
the purchaser of the software.
