The overworked debian/copyright file for the freediams package can be
viewed here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/freediams/trunk/debian/copyright?revision=8714&view=markup
Please seek for "drugs/master.db" to find the relevant licensing
information about the compilation of data. As far as I understand
upstream upstream the database in the old version is featuring the same
data sources in older version (but unlikely with different licenses).
In case the version in Squeeze would be considered free also all
other versions are free (which would be *really* good news). So
please, please prove me wrong in my opinion that this database is
not distributable. I'm specifically concerned about:
3) French drugs database and drug-drug interaction (starting point): http://afssaps-prd.afssaps.fr/php/ecodex
License: free for non commercial use © AFSSAPS
License terms: http://www.afssaps.fr/Mentions-legales
6) Eudapharm drugs database partially used
License:.
License terms: http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/regulation/general/general_content_000178.jsp&jsenabled=true

...
I suggested upstream to provide a completely free database and an
additional non-free database but he did not agreed to this
suggestion.[1]
Kind regards
Andreas.
