IANAL, but I believe the license issues don't limit distribution, so we can keep shipping the files. Whether they have to be moved to non-free is a slightly different question: one interpretation might be that the offending section limits *use* of the software, so, as long as packages can be patched to not make use of the code, it could theoretically remain in main. But this is admittedly a slack interpretation.
