There is a precedent for putting the license text someplace in the wip
package and referencing it, but I don't remember the details.

This is basically why one needs to read licenses instead of reasoning
about intent; it's just not doable.   "Freely redistributable" to me

with -NC-, we should set the NO_*_ON_CDROM.

With -ND-, you have to figure out if the binary package is a derived
