Yes.  As long as they're from CVS, they'll eventually become released
sources.  Note that this is a personal excemtion I make, and not
normally allowed by the GPL.

Since you're including full sources anyway, unofficial patches are
allowed.  Normally, though, they're discouraged as they make for
maintenance headaches.
