But is "minimal patching ni order to port" considered distributing a
"dreivative work" or a "binary"?

Anyway, as far as I understood from the source on opensource.org ML, the
author didn't really mean to mean that "that way", so I could ask the
author himself if he can personally allow an exception for cases such as
this one?
If that could help, or it wouldn't help anyway?
