reduce uses unknown license name "BINARY"

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The reduce portfile uses the unknown license name "BINARY". As a result:

"reduce" is not distributable because its license "binary" is not known to be distributable

It looks like this was added as a result of #57772 but there's no discussion of it in the ticket. What was meant by "BINARY"?

I have attached BINARY-LICENSE.txt which is included in the distribution.

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.

That's correct, both CSL and PSL are now compiled from source. Several years back PSL was distributed as a binary. I have attached a Portfile diff.

In 23e3572f3ad8f19aefcf4e13f84e4737b6f5d3c4/macports-ports (master):

reduce: Remove "BINARY" license

It's not applicable because we're building from source, not
redistributing one of their binaries.

Closes: #60523
