>> You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein
Is it all that obvious or clear that "if we don't like what you do with our stuff, we will not renew your contract next year or sell you anything anymore" a restriction on the software they already delivered?
The software to which that clause applies was already delivered, and redhat is not, as far as I know, applying any restrictions on that software.
As a company, they are not obliged to sell to anyone who shows up with the sticker price, so this doesn't look, to me, like a restriction on the software itself.
After all, the right to choose your customers is a very basic one that only has few exemptions related to individuals in protected classes.
