Shouldn't affect them much, it just means they'll need a single RHEL subscription.

It would count as an unauthorized use of the subscription, so Red Hat wouldn't keep doing business with them, and wouldn't receive the source code.

That sounds like a giant GPL violation if sources are provided under the condition that you don't use them.

Wonder if a dev subscription is enough.

Legally they must provide source to anyone they provide binaries to.
