Yeah, that's a leftover from before votca entered the archive, and gromacs fell
under the "Shared libraries that are internal to a particular package" wording,
making it exempt from section 8.

I'll see if I can split it for 5.1, but it'll be at least three weeks until I
can get to working on that.  On the plus side, maybe the C++ transitions will
have settled down a little by then.
