    Is Redhat violating this clause of the GPL?

    "When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
    is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the
    covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
    modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
    users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures."

    IBM has the bigger lawyers, but we'll see if this hurts their bottom line.

    As far as I can tell these links don't answer the question.

    What happens if a RHEL subscriber posts all the RHEL source code on an
    open server?

    You'd better ask that in a RHEL group, not in an openSUSE/SUSE one. ;-)

    If you had followed this story at all you would have noticed that a
    couple of "RH satellite" distributions have every intention of seeing
    that question answered empirically.
