In that case please use #:tests? #f and add a comment that says that
there are no tests.

Unfortunately, it does look like this is an unenforcable usage
restriction that is incompatible with free software.  I encourage you to
comment on that upstream issue.  For now I’m closing this.  Let’s hope
that soon this will become free software!

Despite this negative outcome I’d like to thank you for your work on
this!
