I'd just like to add one point to that.  Since the sources are GPL'd (in
the main) RH are required to make them available to anyone to whom they
distribute the binaries.  Because they are GPL'd they cannot prevent
that person from further distributing the SRPMS, therefore all that is
needed is for one person on the Whitebox/ Taos/ CaOS teams to own a
licence for RHEL and they have a right of access to the sources and a
right to redistribute.  The Tao site say that the primary author [if
author is really the right word] has two RHEL machines which he keeps
because he wants their support on it as they are mission critical
systems.
