[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#807580: Bug#807580: More licensing issues (Was: BLAT license)

[Michael Lawrence]

The license stuff was never changed in the release branch of Bioconductor.
That all happened in the devel branch. Next month, with the Bioc release,
the devel branch becomes the release branch, so I'm not sure it's worth
back porting right now.
