I think RMS foresaw how people could abuse the system. But I don't know how Novell/SuSE is complying to this.
Such as: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."
