I'm not sure that's a Right Thing(tm) to do. After all, these
files _are_ encumbered, and in some way more so than GPLed files,
which we so love to eschew. 

I'm not at all thrilled about automatically downloading softupdate
files to my CVS repository, either. 

Finally, putting them into the
repository means they're a part of the base system, whether they're
in the correct place or not. I think (am I right?) there aren't
currently any source files in the base system which demand royalty
for some kinds of commercial use.
