This is a topic of vigorous debate at the moment.  r-devel is not a
good forum in which to repeat the debate, but look at 

http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/06/23/1728205.shtml

and then google around for topics like 'linux distributions provide
source'.

In any case, I'd recommend against a blase attitude that, because the
code is available somewhere, you have no responsibility to distribute
it yourself.
