Fast on the road or postpone it?
You are on a long hard journey in Ramadan, and the licence says: fast if you will, or break it and make it up. The decision: fast through the hardship, rightfully yours, or postpone until you return to ease for you and your companions?
The positions
the keepers
fasting is worship not postponed while possible; licence is not duty
The evidence

the licence takers
the licence was made for travel; taking it follows, not neglects
The evidence
they broke it and made it up so body and company stayed safe
