You just can't modify the sources directly. If you need to
change anything you have to supply the original source
and set of patches or equivalent. [Q public licence]

To acquire the right to  modified  the  ocaml  compiler  as we do at LexiFi, you must be part of The Caml Consortium :

Ps: We don't use camlp4, the extensions are implemented directly into the compiler.
