An 'offer' and a 'pointer to an offer' do not make much difference to me.
Please ask a lawyer. Or even easier, ask the FSF.
And space on the box is scarce. We cannot put everything up front.

Your '_must_' appears to be your personal opinion, I guess.
No, I actually asked the FSF (but didn't mention names).
Really, is it so difficult for you to put the information from
http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/source_code.html in /README
and in the manual? That's all I'm asking.
