See http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rpm

"RPM is the Red Hat Package Manager. While it does contain Red Hat in the
 name, it is completely intended to be an open packaging system available for
 anyone to use. It allows users to take source code for new software and package
 it into source and binary form such that binaries can be easily installed and
 tracked and source can be rebuilt easily. It also maintains a database of all
 packages and their files that can be used for verifying packages and querying for
 information about files and/or packages."

> Are these patches freely available?  If so, we should point to them in the
> GPC documentation and README files.  And in the FAQ - even more important.

 Yes, on ftp.redhat.com and Mirrors.
