configure.ac is missing?
It depends on the licence, to some extent.
The GPL's definition of "source code" is:
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
work.
So for GPL'd software, shipping a configure script without its
configure.ac is a case of missing source code.
