Good practice as a safe-guard. > - do I need to rebuild the tarball without the openh264 source bundled? That is a question about licenses and patents. If h264 is patent encumbered then you need to write a "clean script" which rebuilds the tarball and use that as the source, as we do in similar cases. This ensures that we do not distribute patent-encumbered code (via the source rpm and dist-git).
