Comment(by hakre):

 I have feedback now on this issue by the author/company: The library was
 licensed under the Artistic License (non GPL-Compatible). So this ticket
 was valid from the beginning about a licensing violation.

 The good news is, it just got relicensed under "New BSD". That does cover
 the bases now.

 Additional Feedback I got from someone from the Legal Team of FSFE is that
 the licenses should ship with the package all the time. That's something
 we're currently not doing.

 Luckily the IXR file now contains the needed New BSD license text.

 It only needs to get updated now. The author was so nice to leave even the
 {{{@since 1.5}}} in there.
