Not exactly.  Here are the applicable licence terms:

  The redhat-logos package and the anaconda-images package (the "Packages")
  contain image files which incorporate the RED HAT trademark, Red Hat
  "Shadow Man" logo and the RPM logo (the "Marks"). RED HAT, the Red Hat
  "Shadow Man" logo, RPM, and the RPM logo are trademarks or registered
  trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. in the United States and other
  countries.

  Red Hat, Inc. grants you the right to use the Packages during the
  normal operation of other software programs that call upon the
  Packages. Red Hat, Inc. grants to you the right and license to copy
  and redistribute the unaltered Packages, but only in conjunction with
  copying or redistributing additional software packages that call upon
  the Packages during the normal course of operation and only in
  non-commercial distributions permitted under Red Hat's trademark
  guidelines found at www.redhat.com/about/trademark_guidelines.html
  or under a separate written license agreement from Red Hat. Red Hat,
  Inc. grants to you the right and license to copy and redistribute the
  Packages in commercial distributions without additional license or
  permission, but only in conjunction with copying or redistributing
  additional software packages that call upon the Packages during the
  normal course of operation and only when all of the Marks have been
  removed or replaced within the Packages.
