And what about for pre-built binary files contained in source that are not installed in the final rpm (ex. deleted in the %setup stage)? Should the source be purged from those?
If the licensing is such that they can't be redistributed, yes.
And just to be clear for people who search the mailing list archives later:
* If the licensing is okay, the source tarball doesn't need to be repacked with those files excluded. * The binaries (for a definition of binaries that includes code/executable content but not necessarily data) do need to be removed from the build environment in the %prep stage of the rpm build.
