Since commit d47f6dd8f308323919d2acb0c1b9f562c084866c, beignet has
included backend/src/ir/structural_analysis.* based on gpuocelot.
gpuocelot's license was then "BSD plus you must obey US export
restrictions (even if you are not in the US)". This is non-free by
Debian's definition[1,2], and means that beignet as a whole is no longer
LGPL.
gpuocelot has since added a top-level LICENSE notice without the
problematic clause[3], but also still has ocelot/COPYING with it[4],
making its actual license unclear; the obvious next step would be to ask
them for clarification.
This is currently being discussed in Debian at [5].
