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 new binaries.

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.
