As _RHEL_, no that's not true. If you take the RHEL CDs and install them
as-is, you're violating the licence.

You can copy the software, as you pointed out, but then it's not Red Hat
Enterprise Linux anymore, which is what Red Hat wants.

Of course, if you make a copy of the CD with legal images, you become
legal (which is the whole point behind Whitebox).
