That's not beyond the license terms.  They say that you can use the
developer license on up to 16 machines, which include "small
production servers".  They don't exactly specify what "small" means in
this regard:

"The use cases for Red Hat Enterprise Linux have been expanded in the
Red Hat Developer Subscription for Individuals. The Red Hat Developer
Subscription for Individuals is a single subscription, which allows
the user to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux on a maximum of 16
systems, physical or virtual, regardless of system facts and size.
Those 16 nodes may be used by the individual developer for demos,
prototyping, QA, small production uses, and cloud access."

The frustrating part is that they require you to re-register your
system once a year, and if you don't, updates fail with a cryptic
message.
