It looks like Ubuntu or Debian would not be able to distribute this rpm
as the License includes the wording:
Licence: Your licence to use the Software is non-exclusive and, save as
expressly stated in this Agreement, non-transferable. You are permitted
to: (1) use one copy of the Software ("use" shall mean storing, loading,
installing, executing or displaying the software) for your own internal
purposes; (2) make a reasonable number of back-up copies of the Software
in support of the permitted use, provided that all such copies include
the Canon copyright notice as it appears in the original copy of the
Software provided to you; (3) transfer the Software and the benefit of
this Agreement to another person, provided that this person has agreed
to accept the terms of this Agreement and you cease all use of the
Software, transfer all copies of the Software you have made to that
person or destroy all copies not transferred. If any transferee does not
accept such terms then this Agreement automatically terminates.
Key point is part number (3): you can't share the code with anyone
without destroying the code on your computer.
This would probably have to be handled similarly to how Flash-nonfree is
handled.
