[fab] FSF Requirements for srpm provisions

This has come up on fedora-devel-list.  If somebody happens to spin a compose 
of Fedora rpms for say ia64, no modifications, no alterations, same exact 
binaries that were created at the same time the i386/x86_64/ppc ones were, do 
they have an obligation to host all the srpms again where they provide the 
spun release, or can they refer back to the mirror system of srpms?

For that matter, when we allow people to make spins of Fedora comprised of 
their specific package set, do they have to provide the srpms of the packages 
they used?  Is it not enough to point to the unified source directories on 
the mirror system?
