Everyone pays for hardware. As for support, they can run their
non-critical/development systems on CentOS or Scientific Linux
and just pay for RHEL on any critical production systems which
they need paid support for.

I suspect you will find that many research people just use either
SL or CentOS for various research activities. After all, there must
have been a reason why Scientific Linux was created in the first place.
