RHEL3, except for one or two RPMs, is collectively licenced under the 
GPL. Most of the packages are GPL, and the rest are mostly also 
freely redistributable.

So, other than a few RPMs, yes you can.

Your support contract with RedHat OTOH, is a different matter. (And 
contains penalty clauses if you grossly misreport the number of 
installed RHEL's).
