I browsed Professor Knuth's site a bit, to see if I could gain any better information on this point, but came up empty. At the very least, I think that it is implicit that binaries, if based upon modified source, had better not call themselves MMIXware. If we're required to take a position that absence of explicit grant to distribute binaries is denial of the right, you may be correct, but my guess is that Knuth would not object to our doing so under the implied conditions, so I do hope that somebody at Stanford can reach him.
