Package: grace
Version: 1:5.1.23-8
Severity: serious

The grace package contains code from the cephes library, which is under the 
following nonfree license:

  Some software in this archive may be from the book Methods and Programs
  for Mathematical Functions (Prentice-Hall, 1989) or from the Cephes
  Mathematical Library, a commercial product. In either event, it is
  copyrighted by the author.  What you see here may be used freely
  but it comes with no support or guarantee.

The license isn't included in the source package (this doesn't seem to be the 
complete cephes library) but you can find it in the tarball on the the cephes 
author's website. [1]

There was a discussion back in 2004 about the author being willing to 
relicense it  under a BSD license [2], but nothing happened after that.
