A Re-Sourced entry is one that has been moved from the Basic Rules to the Listed Source, Access to it will be through owning or being shared its new source. If an entry was already present on a character sheet, it will be retained until the entry is removed by the user manually.
So this is just a way to push sales by requiring things behind other books that were part of the basic rules?
You’re posting about something that already happened a year ago. Just FYI.

No, these were all items that should not have been in the basic rules, but due to how the system works, had to be put there.
To clarify:
Game Feature A grants access to Game Feature B
Purchasing Game Feature A therefor needs to grant access to Game Feature B
Before this update, this wasn't possible via the store; a purchase of one game feature couldn't automatically grant the entitlement of another. This meant there were only two options:
Have Game Feature A and Game Feature B be two separate purchases
Have Game Feature A be a purchase, and Game Feature B be classed under Basic Rules, which is a free source
Option 1 was not even remotely acceptable, that would make some game features effectively cost twice as much. So the team went with option two.
However, with the new update, purchasing Game Feature A can automatically grant you the entitlement of Game Feature B, meaning it no longer needs to be classed under the Basic Rules. This is how the system was intended to work from the beginning.

For example, purchasing the mighty servant of leuk-o will also grant you the license entitlement for mighty servant of leuk-o
I hope this clarifies things
