To my understanding, at least, the licenses for these packages
involved direct communication between the upstream author and the
maintainer via e-mail or similar.
It's probably best to e-mail the upstream author, get clarification,
and include the whole e-mail in the debian/copyright. That's
substantially more reliable than a random announcement on a webpage.
