Like you said, the modified .star files can't be distributed, but the

Does this mean I can have a package whose spec file generates the
.star file from the catalog, so that installing starplot-gliese3
directly provides the .star file? (I think 'no'.)
No, because we'd be distributing the .star files in that scenario.
What about a %post generating them under /var/lib ? I know this ain't pretty
but I think it would solve the license issue.
Hmm, normally I'm against this, but if they were ghosted in the %files,
the package would "own" them, and we wouldn't actually be distributing
them.
I've done a little more research and I strongly believe that install time
conversion is the answer. The data files in the format which we may distribute
are not modified in essence. starplot comes with a conversion program to change
them to its own format, I guess this is done once by a seperate conversion
program and not on the fly when loading for performance reasons, so the
converted files could be seen as cache files.
