That would be fine, but as someone else said, applying the 4.4-lite code on top of your original 4.4 code doesn't give you a current full 4.4 source tree. I would expect that certain files that are not in the 4.4-lite distribution have been updated since the first 4.4 shipment. So, how do valid license holders get those changes files? It can't be via 4.4-lite!
