If he's not willing to grant such permission, perhaps it'd be acceptable
to just rename the package (e.g., "cvc3mod"), and clearly stating in the
description that it's a _derivative_ from CVC3 and thus _not_ necessarily
the official "cvc3".  If that's not enough, the executable program could be
renamed, but then install a symlink from "cvc3" to it. That way, programs
that expect its "old" name would keep working.
