They have a rather large contrib site, which has been moved off to its own
server and URL.  There is also their Powertools collection.  Neither of
these require money, AFAIK.  The issue with the contribs is that Red Hat
provides no support for contribs, other than providing the space.  All
contrib packages are provided as is at your own risk.
