Just to give it some reasoning.
We remove all (program/code) binary files from upstream tarballs, because
you simply (a) *can't be sure* what the binary does and (b) you can't tell
whether licensing is not broken (we need to be sure we can legally
re-distribute).

Yes, either package must be built completely from source, or we may use
our other already distributed packages as dependencies (which already
_must_ built from source too).
Downloading some binary jars from internet is not acceptable. Fedora is
not alone -- this issue probably blocks all (sane) FOSS distributions
around.
