Repacks Required to Include Source Code

[Tb.]

So as mostly everyone should be aware, most public emulators run on a form of GPL license which requires making the source code available for any distributions of the product. So in my opinion we should require all repacks who are derived of GPL based emulators to make a download to the source available to the public.

That will just make people release less repacks I think this will not help anyone...

Enforcing this will result in fewer releases and possibly finding alternatives to WoWEmu. I would say it's a win-lose but I honestly cannot see the "win" side here.
While I totally agree, it's undoable, like many other things in life.
