The rpm format is open and the program is under GPL as far as I know.
All Linux distributions that I can think of are using a software installation
procedure unequal to 'compile everything yourself'.

If you have Red Hat there's nothing to stop you from compiling all new
packages yourself. I do it all the time. Of course I can't rely on rpm
dependency checking anymore.
