As far as I understood a PM from Alex who forewarded an answer from the
upstream author of the code in question he agreed to GPL. So I guess
this issue is solved. Alex, I would recommend to include the relevant
parts of the mail in the debian/copyright file. It is advisable to
remember upstream to reflect the license change also in the source code
(which sometimes just will be forgotten).
Kind regards
Andreas.
