(Get the code!)
For either universe or multiverse, we need a clear debian/copyright that explains what the user's rights are on the software. Currently the packaging declares an Apache license, but it's not clear that these are the rights that the user has on this software; the EULA imposes other conditions and asserts that they are binding by simply downloading or installing the package. So what are the effective license terms of this software?
If an Ubuntu community developer modifies this package to remove the code that requires EULA acceptance, is that ok from IBM's POV? If not, then I would say this code is not actually Apache licensed, since removal of a EULA prompt would be a legitimate modification under the terms of the Apache license.
