I found other information about his licensing policy
at http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may distribute a precompiled package
* if installing your package produces exactly the same files, 
  in exactly the same locations, that a user would obtain by
  installing one of my packages listed above; 
* your package behaves correctly, i.e., the same way as normal
  installations of my package on all other systems; and 
* your package's creator warrants that he has made a good-faith
  attempt to ensure that your package behaves correctly.

It seems not to be GPL/BSD compatible, because he limits
 style of distributing precompiled package.
I don't know the license is free or not. But, sorcery will not be limitted.
What is free? What free is needed?

* Other distributions..
