Not quite. The copyright holder can do whatever they want. The GPL only<br>
obligates licensees. RedHat could in theory license RPM under the GPL and then<br>
refuse to give you source. At this point, you would be unable to legally<br>
redistribute RPM yourself because YOU are bound to the GPL.<br>

While it does not specify where you are allowed to receive that source code, if the licensor fails to make that source code available to you, then from a practical standpoint, they haven&#39;t GPLed the code at all.<br>
