Comment (by ryandesign):

 Ok well the first line of that file says:

 {{{
 License for binary copies of REDUCE downloaded from Sourceforge
 }}}

 The reduce port isn't downloading a binary of reduce, right? It's
 downloading the source code and building it. So this doesn't apply.

 Next, the file reproduces the BSD 2-clause license, and the port already
 indicates that it is under the BSD license.

 The rest of the file is commentary.

 So I think "BINARY" can just be removed from the `license` line.
