JavaCC (https://javacc.dev.java.net/) seems to have been relicensed
under the revised BSD license. Maybe it helps to ask upstream for the
unmodified files and look for identical files with the new license.

 since we are, arguably, distributing a derivative work and if we ever
 patch it then we certainly are.

Like it or not, but it seems to be fine from the DFSG side. If
upstream remains uncooperative the proper way to handle such trademark
