From what I understand, the source DVD can still be acquired, you just have to ask now, sadly. I too think it's a poor decision not to include it. I believe instructions are in the package for how you go about asking for a source DVD from Novell/SuSE.
I guess they decided most users won't need the source, and they could save the cost of the extra disk. As long as the source is available, they're complying with GPL. Don't forget, buying the package is not the only way to obtain SuSE 10, so $60 for what we get, isn't out of line. Compare that with what you pay and get with XP.
