It's not going to be much of a problem for them because it's unlikely that any of the contributors to the GPL code actually cares. It's a technicality, not something that's actually causing damages or that's ethically wrong. I don't see a good reason to remove it, either from a legal or ethical standpoint. It would only be a problem if Arch was actually distributing it.Arch is giving users a tool which has the sole purpose in helping distribute those binaries, and that's a really dark-grey area that might be dangerous to step into, IMHO.
Which tool are you talking about that "helps distribute those binaries"? Because, again, downloading a binary isn't the same as distributing it.
