OK, I'll check whether I can find the appropriate Debian packaged

Can you provide a license file which clarifies this issue (preferably in
the downloadable tarball because it is not only relevant for Debian
packaging)

I don't think we should start with reverse engineering - but the source
needs to describe this issue properly. The FreeSHIM website says the
downloadable code is GPL - but this is not the whole truth if you
download the source. So it would be reasonable to include a COPYRIGHT
file which explains that your code is GPL but there is some other stuff
needed (and included) which is not. BTW, our licensecheck script says
GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address)
for all the *.java files - perhaps you might like to fix this address.

Ahhh ... I should have read until the end of the README - thanks for
the clarification.

Sure, that's perfectly fine.
Kind regards and thanks for the clarification
Andreas.
