I've just find this document:

 Cube is freeware, you may use Cube for any purpose as long as you don't blame 
me for any damages incurred, and you may freely distribute the cube archive 
unmodified on any media. If you wish to use the cube source code in any way 
(available from where you got this), even just a mere build, read the 
readme.txt file carefully (ZLIB license).

So, when a file doesn't have a specific license, it is under this license that 
it is publish.

I don't see problem anymore. Data material will enter Debian non-free section.
