Jumping in late...

As I understand it, RBL's are reluctant to distribute their files to
anyone and everyone because having all of the zone data makes it
easy for a spammer to *find* open-relays, proxies, etc.  Considering that
many (most?) sites do not use a particular RBL, having the zone file
freely available would make spammers' jobs much easier.
