The CD contains software under many different non-GPL open source
licenses, so can't be described as "100% GPL." Even if the software
were all GPL, the GPL is explicit that this does not impact logo
images found on the CD:
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.
There is a separate license in the redhat-logos and anaconda-images
packages. See /usr/share/doc/redhat-logos-(version)/COPYING for
example.
I am not a lawyer or official spokesperson and you should consult both
