But the fact that 30% of the MacPython users are still downloading the OS9 binary really surprises me...

Have you considered sending mail to MindVision and asking them to donate a license to the PSF? No doubt they are being inundated with such requests, but it may be worth trying.

Are you using InstallerVise on OS X as well (I build from the tarball)? If so I'd be willing to help migrate to the Apple Installer. Then you could tell MindVision that you would like to continuing distributing an installer built with InstallerVise only on Mac OS 9 and earlier, and ask if they'll donate the appropriate license. Who knows... perhaps they'll toss in the full deal.
