I don't think this does violate the spirit of "free as in freedom" GPL. GPL is pretty straight forward - it sets out to give users of software the freedom to modify and run the software themselves. That's the spirit, and I think Red Hat. It does violate the spirit of "free as in beer" "open source", however.

That's exactly what makes creative common-NC a non-free license by the way.
