AFAIK this includes things like bluecurve and anything with the shadowman logo on it. So unless they got that permission they would have to rm the applicable packages. AFAIK this applies to anyone except "Offical Red Hat Linux Mirror sites" Red Hat's web site specifically gives them permission to redistribute it. IIRC Mike Harris gave a good description of this stuff on either psyche or phoebe mailing lists a while back.
