Regarding mjpegtools, I think the source even got some more severe 
license issues than the ones you pointed out before, e.g. 
mjpegtools-1.9.0/aenc/common.h (and several other files in aenc/):

/*

/**********************************************************************

Doen's look likely to meet the DFSG requirements. :(
