So, as I suspected, this is all about saving face? I'm instantly reminded
on the games/sex pkgsrc import request (PR #29929) which nobody
investigated and was proposed for closure just a few hours ago --
appearently it's master site disappeared, and no-one has ever bothered to
check it until now. If suddenly Sierra would decide to make LSL freely
distributable, would we be hesistant to include it too, purely for
political correctness?

better educate the worthy newbies and scare the unworthy ones away until
they become so.

dictate which kernels we build and distribute by default in the future.
