Whether software updates are free or not is not related to the definition of open source. If Debian stops functioning tomorrow that does not suddenly make your Debian GNU/Linux distribution proprietary. Same for if they'd ask money for software updates.

In fact, it is entirely OK to ask money for open source or free software.

Like I said, RHEL is completely open source (OK, maybe something like Nvidia driver). An OS which is 100% open source but comes with trademarked artwork is still 100% open source. If RHEL wouldn't defend their trademarks they'd lose them.
