netperf / MIT License is not open source?



I just noticed that the netperf package is in the [non-free] repository
  https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/netperf
which seems wrong.

Is the MIT license really not compatible with open source or is the
netperf package using outdated licensing info or .. what?

The debian package copyright file link points to
  https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//non-free/n/netperf/netperf_2.7.0-0.1_copyright
which has
  Upstream Authors:
  Copyright 1993-2007 Hewlett-Packard Company

but the homepage link points to
  https://github.com/HewlettPackard/netperf
which has a COPYING file pointing to
  https://github.com/HewlettPackard/netperf/blob/master/COPYING
which has
   HewlettPackard/netperf is licensed under the
  MIT License
  #  Copyright 2021 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP

Thanks
