In that specific case, I think we can put the GPL utility scripts in a 
non-default variant (which is what we did, right?) as the buildbot won't build 
it and won't dist it (I would guess that we should probably also update the 
license in the variant in case macports attempts to build or distribute variant 
builds in the future).

then we can't distribute binaries of it (we might be able to split it up and 
distribute binaries of parts of it, but maybe we just have to let end-users 
build it themselves instead).
