As a follow-up, the author of Tinker returned my email and let me know
that .06 was rerolled for a minor reason.  He didn't realize that any
package system feature Tinker and in fact thought his license prevented
that.  He then said it was "ok" for FreeBSD to have it because ports
distributes the source code and builds from source.

He's been informed about the consequences of rerolling tarballs and I
told him the license restriction could actually prevent exposure of his
software as it (should) prevent binary distribution, so binary-only
users would never see it.

I'm still waiting for a response to that, but the immediate conclusion
is that the reroll was confirmed and the distfile should be fine.
