This is not what is concerning about RedHat's behavior.  They require 
you to purchase RHEL if you intend to use it.  I don't misunderstand
the GPL in that it allows them to sell RHEL.  I am confused how they 
can disallow people from using it without payment.

RedHat further encumbers RHEL with a EULA which extends the GPL and
further restricts your rights to use the product.
