I'm pretty sure they can. However, directing people to places where they
can (essentially) violate IP rights may be roughly as actionable as
violating them yourself. Yes, that's a bit over-dramatic, but if you
learn to see this situation the way that Red Hat's legal department
likely does, you'll quickly understand why this is a very tangled
problem.

I think, frankly, directing people to Google is always best, that way
they generally end up with the information they want, and it's up to
them to provide the search parameters. I'm not saying that's the way to
handle official documentation, I'm only saying it's an alternative
that's free of legal entanglements.
