As mentioned previously, without a distribution license for this
software.  we cannot distribute it.  Please get upstream to clarify what
the terms are for distributing their software.  Their README and
ACKNOLOEGEMENTS files talk about the licenses for distributing the
software they agregate, but not for the software for which they claim
copyright.
