One might think that using pristine sources in the source rpm is better
than using one with the patented code stripped out.
Why "better"? Stripped source code cannot be compiled accidentally.
That would be something for the lawyers. Imagine a repo contained an
audio application that supported MP3 for several weeks.
Easier for downstream to check against upstream to see that it matches.
the packager doesn't need to create stripped down archives.
