I'd encourage you to file a bug against the postbooks package to
discuss this with the Debian xTuple maintainers team.

When Redis changed the license of some modules recently, the Debian
and Fedora package maintainers forked the affected modules from the
commits prior to the license changes under a new organisation called
GoodFORM. Since Postbooks is distributed in Debian (and derivatives)
as well as Fedora/EPEL, the same process could be done for Postbooks.
