Its totally up to the maintainer to comply with the license. Ion was dropped because codemac didnt want to maintain it anymore. Personnaly i wouldnt want it in the Archlinux repos because we all remember the Ion developers behaviour in the mailing list but a) i dont use community b) like i said before its totally up to you. Just make sure we dont hear from him again Greg

If you get ill (yes, getting a real life is what we call ill too ;)) and can't update the package within 2 weeks after release, you're screwed because you're violating the license. I wouldn't make ion3 available as binary package for this single reason.

If you add it, don't call the package ion3 just to be safe. In the description you can write 'This is a fork of ion3.' so that people can still find it. That's what I would do anyways. :D
I create own repo at http://web.vrn.ru/sergej/sergej-repo/i686/ http://web.vrn.ru/sergej/sergej-repo/x86_64/ and PKGBUILDs at http://code.google.com/p/archlinux-stuff/source/browse/trunk/my-repo it contains ion3 stuff now
Private repos are fine, but as for an official response about Ion, see the following: http://archlinux.org/news/374/ // jeff -- . : [ + carpe diem totus tuus + ] : .
Hi,
A friend of mine already maintains a package at AUR since May 03.
It's available at: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16754
There are also comments regarding the license in this page.
Best regards, Leandro Inacio
