How is the first not a fee given to the recipient? "You must give a
dollar to everyone you give the binaries to" certainly would be. The
fact that the fee is not payable to upstream doesn't mean that it's not
an upstream fee - upstream has dictated that you must provide something
of value to the recipient. 2 clause BSD doesn't have this problem.
