CentOS actually helps RedHat. RedHat cannot really afford to have low cost or no cost alternative, or it would seriously damage his high margin support contracts. Aslo, those that do now want to pay for RedHat would have a lot to choose from even with absense of CentOS. And for RedHat, it's better those who want free go with CentOS then say Debian. But, with Centos, their platform expands massively so more ISV's support it, students and admin's are willing to learn RedHat (via CentOS), and their developer base also grows.
