You don't need a Red Hat subscription to get any SRPMs from RHEL. The GPL requires that they provide them for free. I believe that applies even th RHWAS, since that's still based on GPL'ed Linux code.
You can get RHEL RPMs here
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/
No. RHWAS is not there. This discussion started on Oct 14. Search the list archives for more info.
As I understand it, the GPL requires they provide the source of GPL licenced rpms to people that possess the rpms, not to the public.
