What about using a vers of fedora or debian, where the code is free and
the upgrades to the system aren't needing conformity to any type of
regulation?

No, it is a violation of the EULA on RedHat's server products to run
them
without having purchased a support agreement.  It is not permitted to
obtain
or run RedHat Enterprise Linux without having paid for it.

I'm not sure how they get away with this practice on GPL'd code, but
they
do.
