Red Hat Enterprise Linux has long been a trusty go-to operating system option for most server roles, if not in its official Red Hat branded form, then in one of its respun incarnations, such as the fee-free CentOS or the Oracle rebrand Unbreakable Linux. Based on my tests of RHEL 6, I expect this new release to continue in that tradition& the new release performed as solidly as ever, and benefits from a support term that’s been lengthened from seven to 10 years.

Richard Stallman(creator of GNU/Linux) is saying that he might remove linux because people are making it closed instead of what it originally was (open)

Closed means that it is propriotory and that it will cost money and there will be many restrictions but open means that it will be available for use for anybody and modifications to the open version is free as to the user without any costs (money and so on)
Larry Ellison made a version of linux that is called enterprise linux unbreakable which is closed and wants to charge money for it. This is why Richard Stallman wants to change open source but has not yet.
