It's content rather than code so falls under this section of the fedora packaging guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#Code_Vs_Content Since this is for epel only, you probably want to talk to the other epel maintainers about whether they have any issue with this plan but I don't think it violates any Fedora Packaging Guidelines. -Toshio
