I just went through all it's licenses. It looks like it will be slightly
tedious packaging this, since you have to specify the license for every
file in a package if you want it included in Ubuntu. Also, since one of
the licenses that some of the files are released under is a non-free on,
it would have to go into the multiverse repository, which may also deter
some Ubuntu contributors to package it.
