Hi Stefano,
I considered it as well, but I have the feeling that it would require to
contact Upstream again to ask if he agrees with producing binaries from patched
sources, since that is what the package would still do after being transferred
to the non-free section of our archive.
As a reminder, here is what the source file headers contain.
* This Program is free but not GPL!!! You can't modify it
* without agreement with author. You can't distribute modified

Here is the summary of the content of our diff.gz:
