Based on the link, it looks like they want a CUSTOM version of RHEL/CentOS with their own artwork in it. Maybe RJ Solutions is a big corporation that wants its own corporate images splashed all over its desktops. I believe the CentOS distro is licensed under the GPL. As long as they don't distribute it outside their organization, then they do not need to provide this to anyone else. The minute they distribute the GPL dictates that they must hand over source code.

Specifically, the GPL requires them to "hand over source code" (only/at-least) to those to who they distribute the GPL binaries. They don't (necessarily) have to provide the source to everyone.
