    If developers are forbidden from manually altering the output of a
    compiled grammar, that is a usage restriction.

I'm not sure who you mean by "developers", and I can't understand the
rest of the sentence concretely ether, but I think you've changed the
subject.  The issue here is what we must do.

For any generated files we distribute, we must provide the
corresponding source code.  Somewhat related source code is not
enough.

If you write a script that does the editing, that will fill the gap.
The grammar file, plus the script, will add up to the source code
to produce the needed generated file.  Can you please add that
to the repository and the release tarballs?
