Bug#795149: TestU01 license status

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hey Pierre, Richard.

TestU01 has been finally packaged for Debian[0], however in the so
called "non-free" section, as the license situation is still unclear.

The website[1] claims that the license would be GPL3 or later but the
source tarball's COPYING files names another license, which Debian
would consider non-free.

Could you please officially clarify the situation (please keep the
bug's email address CCed) and/or even better update the tarball with
the correct license?

Thanks in advance,
Chris.
