I can tell you that we have been contacted by upstream to make sure we **UNDERSTAND** the new AUP restrictions on distribution. I can also tell you that we (CentOS) are doing everything in our power to meet the restrictions as they were explained to us.
The restrictions do include the distribution of items downloaded directly from RHN.
Did they actually call it a "restriction" in a way that is prohibited in the GPL?
Also, there is probably room for a public, if not legal, complaint about gpl compliance if the source and binary components they distribute don't match in a way that you can rebuild a binary that works the same. Of course there is a lot of non-gpl content, so even strictly observing the GPL rules won't solve the whole problem.
