Eventually it wasn't even true that CheapBytes could make verbatim copies. Nearly everything _interesting_ on the RHEL CDs or DVD is Free Software, but the contents also include Red Hat's trademarked logo, some branded documentation and contributed demoware, samples of future as-yet non-free software and so on.
Installing Dave's Linux and getting a Red Hat branded system is clearly not much more acceptable trademark-wise than just allowing Dave to call it Red Hat cheap edition so that had to stop.
So the similar-to-Red-Hat products you can download today are rebuilt from source with the trademarks removed where possible. They're recognisably Red Hat derived, but there's nothing to mislead the user into thinking that it's actually a Red Hat product, and I think that if you asked these other distributors after all this time, they'd agree that's a good thing.
