[Fedora-legal-list] Do we need to remove proprietary code from previous releases?

Recently I took over the orphaned package libzzub in F-10 and devel. I
found that the upstream renamed the package to armstrong, so I opened
a review request for armstrong and it just got approved.

But whenever I was packaging armstrong, I found that the source
tarball contains some MS propriatary code. This code does not get
compiled into the final binary RPM but I removed it from the tarball
when I created the SRPM. libzzub is now going through the
PackageEndOfLife process and will be removed from F-10 and devel soon.

The thing is, the old package libzzub that is in F-7, F-8 and F-9
still has this code in the SRPM. How shall we proceed in this case?

PS: Specifically, the directory src/rtaudio/include needs to be
removed from the libzzub tarball.
