_We_ don't have to distribute "the preferred form" if we don't make
modifications to it (which we're not). It's enough just to say that we're
using fparser and that the source is available... which it is: from
Sourceforge.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with distributing binary versions of
GPL/LGPL software as long as the source is available _somewhere_. We are
only responsible for distributing modified forms of the source with any
binary / non-preferred forms. I personally don't plan on editing those yak
generated files...
But Cody's patch can do both... so if there's not a problem with his
patch... then let's just use that.
