"Or are they just planning to ship Redhat verbatim and never make their own stuff?"

That is their stated mission.

Anybody can do that with open source as long as they make the source code available. That shouldn't surprise anyone. Source code is free and open.
Did you miss the discussion about RHEL source code being kind of hidden?
It's not "kind of hidden"

Redhat (and IBM) are choosing who to release their source code to, and if they don't like you they won't give it to you. Richard Stallman (rms) ain't dead yet.
