I think this is a reasonable interpretation but I'm not an expert on this by any means. This is why I think it would be nice to have someone or a group of someones who could act as the official MacPorts licensing expertise and take time to really understand the issues involved and implement them. Not a trivial task but one that could bite MacPorts legally if it's not done properly. One last question. Assuming that they're running, when do the buildbots update their version of port_binary_distributable.tcl? If not often, perhaps the license definitions and conflicts should be moved from the script to something under _resources that would get updated with the ports themselves.
