Hi,
I took a brief look at the upstream website. The download site [1]
points to two other pages for downloads ([2] and [3]), one of them
having the non-free license, the other a BSD/GPL dual-license.
Interestingly both of these ask to accept the non-free license...
They both contain a different link to a source tarball. I downloaded
both and compared them: they only differ in the license headers in the
individual files.
The files in acpica-unix-20130214.tar.gz have the non-free license.
The files in acpica-unix2-20130214.tar.gz have a 3-clause BSD license or
GPL-2:

I tried replacing the date to get the version we currently have in
Debian, but only the tarball with the non-free license was available
from [4].
