It should not matter to anyone where the srpms are physically located as long as they are accessible. In addition, given that the sprms used to build most of the distro are unmodified from the upstream versions, do you even need to distribute them? Since I am not a lawyer I do not know the answer but it would seem to me that if you made the srpms you modify available that would be good enough. I am sure some lawyer wannabee will complain about this. People always seem to find something to whine about but if you could do that it would save a bunch of disk space. Which is a good thing IMO.
