I've contacted the upstream author (CCed), and he said [1] that he would have put it under GPL (which is, indeed, DFSG-free) and that this was stated on theproject's homepage [2]. Is that sufficient? Or should he make a new release with that header changed accordingly? Please keep all us CCed.
It would be nice if the licence were made a bit clearer, and having a new release would be nice. However, it is not needed. Just quote the relevent part of the email message in the copyright file.
