 If there is license incompatibility involved, we can't distribute it in
non-free.  We still will have to obey the chosen licenses, no matter how
unfortunate that might be.

 And yes, if that was the reason to have it removed from wheezy, I don't
see any way that we will accept that into wheezy-backports, as long as
the reason hasn't changed (and it doesn't seem like it has, has it?)

 So long,
