I agree with what Peter Bowen has answered.

One thing to add: The GNU GPL does not include the permission to
redistribute RHEL products or fragments when that would violate Red
Hat's trademarks. So, the second conclusion above is partly wrong.

Concerning the first conclusion, there is the exception of an
unsupported copy of RHEL, e.g. where the customer did not renew his
contract at the end of a year. In that case he could install the
unsupported (unlicensed) copy on as many machines as he would like.

Concerning the third conclusion, yes, I think that is entirely
possible. Just think about someone who just wants to evaluate RHEL
for some time before deciding whether to purchase it.
