On second thought, it probably ought to be removed from the source
tarball, on the chance that possible commercial use makes the srpm
non-re-distributable (depends on the exactly licensing terms, I guess).
Yeah, you'll need to remove it from the Source tarball. Just take it out
of the Source tarball, rename it to note that it is modified, and make a
comment in the spec file explaining why.
