I may have been interpreting him incorrectly but I thought his question
was can he redistribute the packages we produce?  i.e. download from
SDLC and then host and redistribute those packages.

I'm not sure that that changes Andreas' answer or not, but just wanted
to clarify.  I don't know if resulting RPMs themselves can have a
licence any different than that which they package.  An interesting
thing to ponder.
