The strict answer would be 'Y'.

I never understood why such packages couldn't just be a "stub" that
downloads the source from the "true" source and compiles and installs.

It would have serious dependencies (i.e. you'd need working Internet
connection, compilers/dev libraries/etc) but would meet the requirements
of the license.

This sort of licensing restriction is what limited Qmail from
world-domination (as another example).  I always thought  a  "fake
binary"  .rpm/.deb that  actually showed you the license, then
compiled-and-installed would meet such licensing issues. But I Am Not A
Lawyer (he says, merrily dancing around).
