This clause is almost certainly to prevent folks from having a single
subscription and then using that to update all the others in the
environment. I don't have a problem with it; we do have several
hundred RHEL systems. There are alternatives though. CentOS works for
many companies. Even Oracle manages to rebuild the Red Hat packages
and sell support around it.
