That's in the binary package and source package that Debian distributes;
we don't distribute files separately.

This *is* debian-legal; if anything anyone said here was actually
qualified legal advice, it wouldn't be given in this forum. It certainly
wouldn't be given by me.
Since there's not much more debian-legal can do for you, please seek out
a resource with legal representation like the Software Freedom
Conservancy who has expertise in copyright law and its application to
free software/open source.
Best of luck.
