Looking at the buglist (and rereading the license stuff) I'm not sure I'd be
able to sink too much of my time into a non-free package where bug-fixing is
restricted in such a way, especially when there are free alternatives I
could be working on instead.

I've emailed Michael Hipp (upstream) about some license/packaging issues
and, in all likelihood, I'll re-orphan this package when I hear back from
him. I'm sorry about this, I really should have taken care of this before I
posted the ITA. :(
