Sorry about that. I wasn't sure about the level of detail an ITP should
contain.
The package will end up in non-free, unfortunately. While the parts of
the module written by The PHP Group are licensed under the PHP License,
some of it is based on older code.
Relevant part of the copyright file, with comments by the last
maintainer, Ondrej Sury, looks as follows:

The libdbf copyright follows here:
This has been heavily hacked up from what was released to
comp.sources.misc, volume43 by Jim Winstead <jimw@php.net> for use in
PHP 3.0.
The original source can be found at any decent comp.sources.misc
archive. For example,
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume43/dbf/
