How about denoting the release with "-L", as suggested in the legal notices
themselves? Wouldn't that give us enough leeway to redistribute the binary?
Or, alternatively, how about seeking an agreement with UW (again, as
suggested in the notices) ?

I did and I did not, and still do not, understand why, say, RedHat can
distribute pine in binary form and Debian cannot. Or anyone making prebuilt
debs available, for that matter.
Sorry for not being a lawyer, not everyone is perfect ;-)
