    To be clear: Dima is proposing to make a forked received-by-email
    version of Nauty standard, not the "official" nauty. I have my doubts
    about this.

Spell out your doubts then.

Surely, if the official nauty got another licence it would have solved
the problem easier.

As far as I am concerned as a distro packager that's not nauty anymore that's sagemath-nauty or nauty-sagemath and that's a different package.
On top of the problem created the two probably collide with each other
(files with same name in the same location are installed).

If you are going to use a fork, fork it harder (change the name).
