Yes you can do it freely... Even www.lsl.com is doing the same

Right ;)

There are many value added features in official RedHat (most of them
are useless for many) like a good installation guide and manual,
Stickers ... and Online and Tele support for 30 or 60 Days. And also
priority ftp updates..... maybe nore
