--- Comment #6 from Michael Schwendt <[email protected]> ---
The only requirement is to inform upstream. Patching the source files does not
add any value, because it doesn't affect the built rpms. None of the patched
source files enters the built rpms. The src.rpm includes the unpatched source
tarball plus the optional patch. It could even be that the next upstream
release removes source files, and then you would need to regenerate your patch,
or it adds files and your patch would be out-of-date.

The "if deemed suitable" is the catch-all for files other than the original
licensing terms, which may be a README or documentation that points at the FSF
postal address. Correcting that may make sense in a similar way you would find
it suitable to correct an updated/wrong web page URL.
