hey, django-tinymce developers,

I'm trying to get django-tinymce into fedora [1], according to the
fedora packaging guidelines [2], these binary files are not permitted:

$ find . -type f -name "*.swf"
./tinymce/static/tiny_mce/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf
./tinymce/media/tiny_mce/plugins/media/moxieplayer.swf

My question is, are there any potential risks after removing those binaries
from source?

To clarify, I'm not intending to remove those files from upstream source.
I'd like to know whether removing them would break the main features.

there is no point in packaging django-tinymce for any distribution, you will only get packages that will be outdated for years since distribution will never updated it to new release.
it's better to use pip and similar deployment methods.

but if you want to do it anyway, try checking official tinymce forums and get a direct answer from them.
i'm only sure that some functionality will be broken, not sure what will happen.
