luroh filed a ticket about this about 2 months ago :

In addition to that, I've been putting some more thought into it:
Each OptionalPackage Archive contains path/data/gpl-offers/${GplSoftwareName}
That is a textfile with a url pointing to the location of the following:
note: these files should be hosted at
www.haiku-files.org/files/gpl-source/ or haiku-ports.de/gpl-source/
-tarball
-patches
-build instructions
-should indicate which revision of Haiku the instructions were created.
-include disclaimer that these instructions may need tweaking for newer
revisions of Haiku or said distribution based on Haiku's source code.
BuildSystem:
The purpose of this is to aid in the physical distribution of Haiku,
as including the sources on the physical medium is the most sure-fire way
to meet the GPL distribution requirements.
Create some mechanism that will allow a user to add an optional
package "GPLSources"
Maybe a variable HAIKU_INCLUDE_GPL_SOURCES, eg:
# NetSurf web browser
if [ IsOptionalHaikuImagePackageAdded NetSurf ] {
if $(TARGET_ARCH) != x86 {
Echo "No optional package NetSurf available for $(TARGET_ARCH)"
;
} else if $(HAIKU_GCC_VERSION[1]) >= 4 && ! $(isHybridBuild) {
Echo "No optional package NetSurf available for gcc4" ;
} else {
InstallOptionalHaikuImagePackage NetSurf

if $(HAIKU_INCLUDE_GPL_SOURCES) {
# download and install gpl sources
