I’m definitely not a lawyer, so grain of salt. By the GPL you are allowed to re-distribute the source, but Redhat can also refuse to do further business with you and terminate the account. By not distributing the GPL licensed code unless you are a customer (and under a no-distribution contract), they can just choose not to distribute the software to you and thus not have to give you source.
Isn’t that against GPL? You as a user are allowed to do whatever with the software — modify it, redistribute it etc.

Yep, and RedHat would be asses to try, it’s not like they made Linux.
