Hello,

Thank you, I just wanted to get something black-on-white to point the
maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/popular-packages/ to.

He was requested by an TU to not bundle the source in the tarball a
month ago and I told him again yesterday that you're not allowed to, and
his response was that it wasn't written anywhere that it wasn't allowed
and he "reminded me that I'm not a TU"
