Checking your .sig I see you work in sales, thus you are obliged to tell
us whatever makes RH more money, so I don't believe you ;)

Is not the kernel I am running GPL? If so (and it is) I can give a copy of
it to anyone I like. The same goes for any GPL software I am running. A
license with RH does not (and indeed, cannot) affect that, surely?
