I doubt most RHEL packages use the GPL. They were publishing full source out of goodness of their hearts (or maybe to conquer more market share and then potentially convert some of that into sales if you're more cynical).

The kernel, the compiler, the C library, and the init system have more sway than various packages under BSD, MIT, or other licensing.

  It was more about the second part of your comment. Even if they're forced into providing source for the few essential system libraries (plus the kernel), I don't see what it gives you without the rest of the system (most of which is under pushover licenses because we can't learn from our mistakes).
