Why pay for this service
"I guess I missed the whole goal of the 'free software foundation'"

Yes. You did. But it is just a matter of not being educated in a certain topic, not stupidity.

As it is often quoted - "Free as in speech, not beer."
It's about Opening the Source Code.
Linux vendors do NOT HAVE to give their Linux distro away for free. If they follow certain rules, they may charge for it.

And why pay for the RHLE, which includes very expensive 3rd party software and full support?
Because of what I just wrote.
