The non-free part of the archive only requires that Debian and our
mirrors have permission to distribute.
Also see these parts of policy for some things related to non-free:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-non-free
Please ask upstream to switch to a well known and understood Free
Software license (such as MIT/BSD/GPL).
