The Gimp 2.0 isn't a ripoff because I haven't finished the package yet. He does provide the original Gimp sources, but if the "application bundle" contains anything else it would need to be published as well (but it's not a violation until someone asks him and he refuses, I believe).
He only provides a link to the sources on a GIMP mirror, whereas the GPL requires him to properly host the source on his own server. It's unlikely that anyone will have issues with that unless it really becomes more than a simple script hack posted because it makes things easier. I post little hacks to big GNU programs wrapped up in app bundles, and it really shouldn't be an issue. The point of the GPL is to prevent big ripoffs of software. For example, one of the authors of WASTE: <http://waste.sourceforge.net/> believes that his code really *was* ripped off: <http://www.via.com.tw/en/padlock/padlock_sl.jsp>
