It's legal... people are just think that it's proprietery since it consts money and isn't on the RH web site. However, being legal to distribuite (as the GPL promises) doesn't mean RH has any obligation to distribute. It chose to distribute to RHN subscribers only. AFAIK, All the stuff there is GPLed, including the distro as a whole (compilation) - that's what it says on the RH web site.
