It doesn't have a license, but you got some kind of permission from the authors, what is that permission exactly?

Have a look at the gdal package for example: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gdal.git/tree/debian/copyright http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/gdal.git/tree/debian/watch >> Is it be possible to get an exception for these sources? >> >> If the custom license if DFSG compatible no exception is needed, if it's >> not the files need to be removed or the package need to move to non-free. >> >>> However, easiest solution is to remove the sources and deactivate them >>> during build (Radiometry and SIFT features will be disabled).

That should be fine yes.
