Yes, but I wonder if it would be worth the effort for the few packages
that have such a restriction on the cost of distribution.

If availability of the distfile is an issue, a possible workaround
would be to provide a copy in the maintainer's account on dev.g.o and
add that as a secondary entry to SRC_URI.
