IANAL, but I believe the license issues don't limit distribution, so we
can keep shipping the files.
Whether they have to be moved to non-free is a slightly different
question: one interpretation might be that the offending section limits
*use* of the software, so, as long as packages can be patched to not
make use of the code, it could theoretically remain in main. But this is
admittedly a slack interpretation.
