the following packages have a Restrictive license:
What is the working definition of restrictive? Non-GPL? Non-Berkeley?
(Arguably, GPL is much more restrictive than BSD, but somehow I don't
think that's a problem in this context).
That is completly irrelevant.
It's relevant because I wasn't sure what 'restrictive' means here. I
wasn't trying to be combative or anything -- I know you're busy and I'm
not trying to create more work for you.
The question was whether the actual license of each of these
packages makes any restrictions on the distributions of binaries.
And I got maybe a little too theoretical realized that anything more
restrictive than public domain ipso facto places restrictions, thus the
comment about GPL v. BSD. I'm still not totally clear on what kinds of
restrictions are problematic here...
But like I say, I'm not sure what the criteria for restrictive are.
Again, this is completly unimportant for answering the original question.
I'm sorry, but I thought that is exactly what the original question was. I
think I get it now -- I'll go look up policy on the site to be sure.
