Hi Robert,
Tanuki swiched to GPL+commercial when it was 3.2.3.
You can download 3.2.3 sources and packages from sourceforge and here
is the license included in those files:

=================================
this sounds very liberal. As you noted this is not yet classified in
the license compatibility page, so maybe we should open a JIRA issue
for the legal team.
I'm not a lawyer but the above license sounds ALv2 compatible, so I
expect/home it will pass the review.
