That is an assumption you make, all right --- that page does not state it is exhaustive, however ...
What I mean is, is there a specific Red Hat web page that defines what is acceptable and what is not?
Feel free to ask them, just not on this list
What exactly do you mean by "breaching the rhn aup's"?
Red Hat's outside counsel has made a statement asserting (in part) CentOS project misbehavior by so-called 'deep linking' as follows:
Moreover, our client does not allow others [in a letter directed to asserted improper CentOS project behavior] to provide links to our client's web site without permission.

I realize you [Joshua Bahnsen] feel a need to top post for some reason, but it simply means that context threading is broken.
Red Hat's counsel threatened litigation against the project if it did not address various alleged issues:
... we trust that this issue can be resolved promptly and amicably and appreciate your attention to this matter. We look forward to your reply and request a response no later than February 4, 2005
Why would the project go again near a sharp edge that Red Hat has chosen to take offense at? Who shall insure and indemnify the project and its members against the costs of defense, let alone any damages award?
Please note that I do not need a reply on that question, as it is clearly a rhetorical question.
