I'm making a package for internal use, but want to get it right in case I decide to try to get it uploaded. Some of the upstream code has the license quoted at the end. That license IMHO makes the code not only non-free but actually not source-distributable. However, that code is unmaintained upstream and not used in the version i'm compiling. Should I repackage upstream's tarball to exclude it?
