The way I recall it explained, is no they aren't -- they aren't preventing you from redistributing (or doing whatever you want with the source), but if you exercise that right, they cancel your RHEL entitlement. Nothing in the GPL forces a company to continue providing services to you because you followed your GPL rights. Kind of a loophole I guess. (Edit: I had read through GPL 2 quite a bit back in the day, I don't know if this loophole was plugged in GLP 3, as I've only read through it a couple of times and there were some things in it that I wasn't able to draw a conclusion from. And I could also be completely wrong about the RHEL contract, that I haven't read through for quite a while).
