License issues
Some time ago, an attempt has been made to contact the project so as to make it compliant with the license of their upstream/dependencies. That issue is still open as of 2017-04-23.
However, based on [1], [2] and on [3], the license should be GNU GPL 2 (assumed to be "only" in the worst case), at least if we take into consideration the dependency on java-getopt package.
