Re: Difference between license in files and in COPYING file

Take care: The fact that a work is non-free does not mean the Debian
project has license to redistribute it in the ‘non-free’ section. Many
works are so non-free that they cannot be legally redistributed at all
by the Debian project.

So the question of “can this package be redistributed by the Debian
project at all?” is not automatically answered.

What is the complete set of license terms for the work? That is, what
license terms apply to each distinctly-licensed part? You've mentioned
Artistic License 1.0, but you've also shown a declaration that
contradicts those terms.
