AFAIR it was removed at the end of the potato freeze because it had a
known security hole with a known fix but upstream didn't release a new
version and the old copyright did forbit the distribution of modified
binaries. The new licence as quoted in the last mail doesn't seem to have
this problem (although I think it doesn't comply to the DFSG because it's
a licence in the style of the old BSD licence _with_ the advertising
clause).
