[licence] specific licenses for backdoor-factory software
Hi,
I'm currently packaging "backdoor-factory" for the pkg-security team.
The tool is already in kali.
The upstream sources are hosted here:
https://github.com/secretsquirrel/the-backdoor-factory
The main tool is based on the following license file (LICENSE.txt) :

-------------------8<-------------------
The upstream sources also contain a subdir (not required for the tool
but existing in the upstream git repository), containing the tool aPlib
(a compression library).
This tool is using the following license (looks like common license),
file aPLib/readme.txt:
-------------------8<-------------------
[...]
License
-------
aPLib is freeware. If you use aPLib in a product, an acknowledgement
would be
appreciated, e.g. by adding something like the following to the
documentation:
This product uses the aPLib compression library,
Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Joergen Ibsen, All Rights Reserved.
For more information, please visit: http://www.ibsensoftware.com/
You may not redistribute aPLib without all of the files.
You may not edit or reverse engineer any of the files (except the header
files
and the decompression code, which you may edit as long as you do not
remove
the copyright notice).
You may not sell aPLib, or any part of it, for money (except for
charging for
the media).

- Is the main software legaly acceptable for Debian ?
- Do i need to clean the upstream (deleting aPlib dir) making a dfsg
package or the upstream can be kept in the source package untouched if
the aPlib is not installed in the bin packages ?
Thanks a lot for your response,
