Difference between OEL and RHEL?

A large difference between OEL and RHEL is the licensing terms. 
OEL is free to acquire and use.
RHEL requires a paid license just to obtain.

OEL licenses only support and access to updates. Oracle also has a different
licensing structure from Red Hat, such as licensing by the number of CPU's and
not by the number of cores/instances. In a virtualized environment, this can be a
significant cost difference.
