Two files are GPLv3. But the way I read the rest of that, its a minefield,
full of bouncing betties for the un-aware. I wouldn't advise downloading it
until those restrictions are lifted, every one of them. Otherwise you
could find yourself in a legal quagmire.
nothing in that document seems wrong ... most of it is BSD style licenses and
the appropriate acknowledgements are there, a few are LGPL, which certainly
allow use linked to closed code, and there is an offer to deliver source code
at cost of delivery. Perhaps including the sources for those parts alongside the
deb would have been a bit nicer, but they are libraries distributed for use with
closed code and especially if they are simply used as the original binaries then
all seems appropriate. None of the authors chose strict copyleft licenses.
