That is not my problem. The package was rejected because of:

I would like to distribute the package with this license. I still could
do it, since the authors give their extra permissions as long as the
program is compiled from completely unmodified source (and this should
not be a problem, the source is good and don't need modification for
packages). And the authors are allowed to do this permissions, they
wrote the complete source and have the whole copyright on it.
I wish a statement from James why the extra permissions make the package
unsuitable for Debian main.
MfG,
Eduard.
