Actually, I think the GPL mentions that not only the sources should be 
available, but in case of distributing executables, also the information 
to be able to produce the same results. (In this case the SPEC files)

I think RMS foresaw how people could abuse the system. But I don't know 
how Novell/SuSE is complying to this.
