Not weird[1].  It's called contributory infringement and the 2600 case
involving DeCSS upheld this very thing[2].  The RedHat legal folks are
being quite prudent.

[1] Well okay, living in a supposedly free country where the legal
system has been so perverted that free speech can be curtailed via
this and many other means could be called weird (by those not familiar
with more appropriate terms like tyrannical :).

[2] See the legal docs at http://www.2600.com/dvd/docs/
