The license has been discussed on #debian-release, and it's my understanding
that the old license was also DFSG-compliant in intent (with the help of
some clarifications from upstream that had already happened).
So I'd say releasing it in main is still an option, *if* someone were
interested in a targetted fix and thought that would be a supportable
configuration.
