The following text has always been on the BSware web page:
  http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/bsware/bsware72.html

* BSware does not include any support or commercial products
* that may come on the Official Redhat distribution.
* If you want support or commercial software or the printed manual,
* please buy Official Redhat available directly from Redhat and
* other resellers.

Granted "users" may not read this, but lawyers do.

If Redhat asks me to make changes or additions to that, I'll be
happy to oblige them.

Realistically I think Redhat is after the large volume CD copiers.
And I doubt they want the press they would generate if they started
hassling a local LUG.  (Jamie, will you help get the article posted
if Redhat tries to put BSware out of business? :)
