Correct - Binary packages for RHEL are not available without a valid 
subscription agreement.

Checking my email address, you'll see that I'm obliged to inform you that 
copying packages from another system to one without a valid subscription is 
in breach of the licence agreement that was signed when you subscribed your 
systems to the Red Hat Network...
