Hi Max.

I've just gone through this process of figuring out which things to put
on the exclude list for the third time.  It is really painful, with the
current tools.

The maker of the bindist doesn't check each individual package to make sure
that the license was correctly assigned, right?  We leave that to the
package maintainers... So similarly, we could let the package maintainers
indicate which of the Restrictive licenses actually will permit binary
distribution.

I'm imagining a situation in which we have, for example, automated nightly
builds from the stable and/or unstable trees.  Justin has some scripts
which will do this (once the Fink bug about dependencies of pakcages with
splitoffs gets fixed).
