Well, yes this is a ridiculous bug. However, the license problems are now publicly known. And there is a Debian bug report related to that. So I assume that any distribution that is aware of these issues and cares about being able to distribute packages legally would consider this bug to be a blocker. Otherwise, they would be liable in the (unlikely) case that some copyright holder complains about the licenses. Not very likely, maybe, but some distributors are probably taking these legal issues seriously. -Raphaël
