Rejection of zfec

The package can't currently be accepted for the following reasons:

haskell/Codec/FEC.hs is described as being licensed as "License:   BSD3".  
This license is not mentioned in debian/copyright and does not seem to be 
included in the upstream tarball anywhere.  Both these are requirements.

zfec/fec.* have additional licensing terms that are not described in 
debian/copright.

The package as a whole is dual licensed GPL v2 or later and a custom license 
described as the TGPPL.  The alternative license is not mentioned in 
debian/copyright.  

The package uses ez_setup to download components to build the package from 
outside the official archive.  This must be patched out and the packaged python 
modules must be used.

I did not build the package, so this is just a review of the source.  You may 
reupload the package (does not need FFe) after these issues have been 
corrected.  Please review the entire package for any other issues so we can 
avoid multiple rejections.
