Unless they have Red Hat logos in them, yes.

So buy a copy of RHEL - it's only $349 for ES, for Heaven's sake.

I don't know what you charge, but in my business a license for ES costs 
about the same as two billable hours.  At $349/year it's very, very cheap. 
Just buy it.  That way you support the company that supports Fedora!

I think if you tell them that it averages out to $30/month to own RHEL they 
will see the light.
