Renaming it is not enough. You also have to please the author's ego by satisfying this clause: "executables must also be given names that do not conflict with the original copyright holder's version". Considering the inherent dubiousness of what 'executable' might really mean in the sentence, that can be translated from "heavy patching" to "keeping your own tree". In my case, I definitely lack the time and will to fulfill such stupid requirements. Besides, while certainly unadvisable in a ports mailing list, I'm pretty sure every Ion user out there is smart enough to fetch and compile from source. -p.
