My point is that unless the author grants a license which clearly permits something, we code NO_*_ON_* to prohibit it. So we are simply not in the business of interpreting intent. If someone grants permission to distribute verbatim copies at no charge, then that knocks out NO_BIN_ON_* due to derived works not being expressly permitted, and NO_*_ON_CDROM due to no permission to charge for copies. The way you asked them to use a clear license is exemplary, and ideally we'd ask authors of all packges that have non-standard and unclear licenses to resolve the situation, but in practice this is a lot of work.
