Note that the agreement you have with RH for RHEL (which despite the 
URL on redhat.com), is a /service agreement/ not a licence.

Note also, that it affirms the customers rights to distribute the
software according to each components licence (which tends to be
"free to redistribute", bar the 2 RH trademarked rpms, redhat-logos
and anaconda-images)

So, AFAICT, it ought to be perfectly legal for a RHEL customer to put 
up a website of the RPMs and of any update RPMs that come along. Not 
that it would be financially beneficial for the RHEL customer 
concerned - you are contracted to pay for all your RHEL installations 
as per your agreement with RH.

IANAL.
