Well the EULA doesn't say anything about having to pay $792 for each node in a cluster (actually it doesn't mention paying license fee's at all). The only relevant stuff I can 
find is item 2, "Intellectual Property Rights" :

    "If Customer makes a commercial redistribution of
     the Software, unless a separate agreement with Red Hat is executed
     or other permission granted, then Customer must modify the files
     identified as REDHAT-LOGOS and anaconda-image to remove all
     images containing the Red Hat trademark or the Shadowman logo.
     Merely deleting these files may corrupt the Software."

And I wouldn't say that installing on your cluster nodes is "making a commercial redistribution" would you ? Or have I missed something fundamental ?

Regards,
Steffen
