Very much OK.

If the OGC only appears in the SRD-type file and is read by the code at
run-time, I think you're clear all the way.

If the OGC appears in the SRD AND in the source AND thus in the compiled
binary, I think a literal reading of Ryan's statements could lead to the
conclusion that you're in violation. And yes, that strikes me as extremely
silly. And no, I don't think Ryan ever advocated such an extremist
interpretation. But if the argument against compiled binaries is "A human
can't read them"... And if the argument against the appendix approach is
"You have to indicate the OGC everywhere it appears, not in some separate
compilation"... Then your conclusion seems like the logical outcome. The
binary contains OGC and is unreadable; and the source is readable but
separate.
