Scientific Linux is a kind of misleading name. Scientific Linux is Red Hat debranded, just like CentOS. When CentOS chose to debrand and compile a 5.x update first and delay 6.0, we used Scientific Linux on one of our servers and it's identical to RHEL or CentOS, other than the logos.
From their FAQ:
Q. What is Scientific Linux? A. Scientific Linux is in essence, a commercial enterprise linux distribution, recompiled. What we have done is taken the source code from Enterprise (in srpm form) and recompiled them. The resulting binaries (now in rpm form) are then ours to do with as we desire as long as we follow the license from that original source code, which we are doing. We then bundle all these binaries into a linux distribution that is as close to the commercial enterprise distribution as we can get it.
