The team maintained packaging is available on Salsa:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/laszip
Regarding the FastAC license issue, to quote the upstream issue [0]:
"
Thanks for Tom "spot" Callaway of RedHat for Fedora Legal, the FastAC
authors have agreed to relicense their code under the BSD-2-Clause
license, see the attachments in the Bugzilla issue:
LASzip contains FastAC code which does not allow modification
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1674537
Direct links:
* BSD_Relicense_of_FastAC_code.pdf
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1549115
Contains the email thread between Tom Callaway, Amir Said &
William (Bill) Pearlman
* new-fastac-header.txt
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1549116)
The updated license header for the FastAC code
There is no new release of the FastAC code yet, once that's available
the license issue preventing distributions from distributing LASzip
should be resolved.
