In prior similar bugreport <https://bugs.debian.org/760171#10> - 
referenced from <https://bugs.debian.org/771191#10> - distribution is 
documented as permitted only "for research and education" which I 
interpret as unacceptable for Debian.

You might also want to read Holger's conclusion which contradicts the 
other stuff he extracted from the material I referenced.  Sigh...
