Even outside of the context of licensing, I think the concept of
"preferred form for modification" is a useful one here. That's what
should be in the SRPM and should be compilable by FOSS tools
available
in Fedora. If upstream development regularly happens by hand-editing
a
yacc-generated parser and no one touched the original grammar file in
years, then sure, it's probably best to ship the generated files.
If that is the case then the generated code is no longer generated code
but source that must be maintained independently.
