They literally cannot "Lock it down" due to the GPL. Anyone using RHEL binaries has legal right to the code. What they seem to have done is limit source code access to those who are actually using RHEL, which is all the GPL requires. The GPL does not require you to share source code with every person on the planet, only those using your binaries. If someone wants the source, they can sign up for a free DEV license for RHEL, and that entitles them to the source code for the RHEL things they are using.
