Yes, it is.  This text simply tries to define the meaning of ``source
code'', so as to prevent a situation where what is distributed is
incomplete and doesn't allow one to modify and rebuild.

But there's nothing wrong, AFAIU, in distributing a derived file.  We
already do that, e.g., with Makefile.in that is produced from
Makefile.am.
