[php-maint] Bug#692613: php5: non-free files in upstream tarball ("The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil")

[Ondřej Surý]

But my point is that it's not illegal to distribute those source files
per se, it's just not permitted to use the "software" for Evil.

And since we will not be using those source files, it seems to be ok
to distribute them as part of upstream tarball. But IANAL...
