What about two licenses, BSD, and BSD-no-sources?  The second license 
file would simply note at the top that there's no source available, but 
the license is BSD, with the BSD license underneath the note.

That would allow the first to be included in @FREE, while the second was 
only included in @BINARY_REDISTRIBUTABLE.
