I don't recall any distinction between what you can do with binaries and 
source mentioned in the GPL beyond the requirement that sources must be 
made available too.  And section 6 (of GPLv2) states explictly that "You 
may not impose any further restrictions...".  Of course not all of RHEL 
is covered by the GPL.
