I hate to say it, but that's the point of Free/Open Source software.
You get the source so that you can fix things...
(But yes, you know thta. Your mail makes it clear).

And yes, I do get your point. If someone has wrapped up a SuSE based
distro and is distributing it internally, they MAY not have to abide by
the GPL.  Any experts know?
Of course, again, GPL arguments aside, you're giving away the benefits
of open source.
