If I remember right that license information is based on some post of one of the
authors on some mailinglist, or something similar. If necessary I can dig for
it. Also I think the code is not really maintained.
The other thing you should do is to provide a hbaapi-source package, as hbaapi
is necessary for thinkgs like hbaping, which needs proprietary binary libraries
to be useful with some FC cards. Having a -source image would make it more easy
to build appropriate packages, may be for non-free.
