Thanks to everyone who commented and I apologise for the delay in replying.
So it seems that complete clarity is not yet available. Ok. A couple more questions in the search for clarity:- 1) Can anyone confirm or deny that Red Hat places contractual limitations on what a subscriber (who has access to the RHEL7 SRPMs) can do with the source code so obtained? Yes, I know this has been discussed but I don't think it has been explicitly confirmed. One must infer that there are contractual limitations (otherwise why remove public access to SRPMs) but it would be nice to be absolutely clear. 2) This is a legal question but it is relevant: If Red Hat uses a contract with its customers to prevent a customer who is a recipient of the GPLd source code (when received via SRPM) from redistributing it or rebuilding it as they please, wouldn't this mean that Red Hat itself was in breach of the GPL licence conditions?
