That's a tricky question. As far I know Red Hat provides all the sources for their free software (that's the reason why CentOS can exist), but the binary things are a tricky question.

I think you could share your recipe (the source code), but retain the sauce (the configuration and compiler that produces the binary and the binary itself) and still comply GPL, it's a grey area.

Why CentOS wont share the Red Hat binaries? Well you won't want to bite the hand that feed you.
