What the exact text of the permission that was given?

Sorry my bad. The problem was it doesn't have any license. So I think only possibility is to remove it.

I can remove these sources after importing from upstream right? the license issue will not be imposed for the code in upstream and not the sources in pkg-grass/otb.git

If the custom license if DFSG compatible no exception is needed, if it's
not the files need to be removed or the package need to move to non-free.

But SIFT has GNU LGPL here - https://git.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb.git/blob/HEAD:/Modules/ThirdParty/SiftFast/src/LICENSE

so that could be included.

I don't find any license for the 6s upstream code, so I can't comment on
it further.
