I had a very quick look to the sources, and I am wondering if mauve can
work with muscle instead of clustalw. This would solve the licence
problem. However, it needs a specific patch on Muscle. I can try to
submit it to Muscle's upstream if necessary. Otherwise, it may be
possible to build two different binary packages from the same source
pacakge (like vim or centericq).
Have a nice day,
