How to handle licensing problem

["Greg Wiley" <greg@orthogony.com>]

Good day, all-

I am adopting a package, metrics, and have
uncovered a licensing problem.  Namely,
two of the programs are not specifically
distributable because they have no license
documentation.  According to -legal, they
have no place in Debian.

I have a possible lead to the author of one
of the programs and am attempting to
contact.  The other program does not in-
clude any information about its origin.

The question is: do I simply remove
the offending programs in the updated
package or is there some proceeding that
must take place for such a change?

At first glance, I think I am willing to write
a replacement for one of them but not the
other.  I will decide that after some
more investigation.

Thanks for your advice,
