The author is the person who runs 'tar'?  This seems like a flimsy 
argument to me, particularly since the work done to create some of 
those individual files may dwarf the effort to create the 
collaborative work.  Perhaps a special program was written for the 
sole purpose of creating that individual file, and if the source code 
for that program is not included, then it may be roughly similar to 
distributing a binary executable without source code.

I agree with Kai-Uwe that licenses address different issues and a 
license intended for executable programs may not be appropriate.
