Exactly.  You can redistribute every part of RHEL in binary form, EXCEPT stuff 
like Sun's JRE, etc, etc...

Just because Red Hat doesn't provide RHEL in a binary form, stripped of all 
that blocks binary redistribution (in whole) doesn't mean you can't create 
the beast and send it on it's merry way.
