Sigh, must we go through this again?

You can do anything you want to and with the code that complies with the
GPL.  Stop.

Red Hat has the right to deny you service if you don't follow the service
agreement.  Stop.

So, as a summary:

You can copy the code you get from RHN to any machine you want.  This,
though, will invalidate your service agreement so RH can prevent you from
getting NEW code *via* RHN.  This will also invalidate any SLA you have
with RH.
