Please have a look at the thread starting at 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/09/msg00515.html

This licence is not DFSG compliant, and not GPL compatible.

After this thread, the licence of Vigra was changed to MIT/X11, which
is free and GPL-compatible. I'm currently working on porting enblend
to Vigra 1.4, but it's rather difficult, because enblend uses a highly
patched version of Vigra, and because there were lots of changes
between Vigra 1.2 (used by enblend) and Vigra 1.4.
