We don't want duplicates. If they require a different version than we
already ship and there are conflicts that require more than one version
to ship, then it's something we may have to live with. If they are
duplicating it because they don't want to test against what we already
have, then they need to go back and try and use what we ship. I haven't
looked at the ARC case for this (assuming one has been filed yet), but
this would be something that should have been called out in the ARC case
and I expect that the ARC would have specifically commented on the
duplicate software.

Yes, they must be built from source.
