Control: severity -1 minor
As you might know from:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multipleid=886838
since it uses same style, it's purely documentation issue as the mersene
twister was also released under BSD license, for more reference also see
here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130506/1016593.html
Thus lowering the severity to minor.
You could also find this statement from upstream authors:
http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/elicense.html
Anything would be better than filling serious bug with proposal such as
Remove Debian archive..
Cheers,
Ondrej

Summary:
SleepyCat License code + Artistic License (Version 1.0) or FSF non-free
code + GPL code = Not OK (GPL incompatible)
SleepyCat License code + Artistic Licence (Version 2.0) code + GPL code
= OK (GPL compatible)
SleepyCat License code + GPL or GPL compatible license code + GPL code

(Note: GPL code is no exception, default GPL licensed code.)
Suggests:
1. Remove GPL problematic code, and rebuild. and add copyright file.
2. Replace GPL compatible code, and rebuild. and add copyright file.
3. Contact Upstream author.
4. Remove Debian archive.
