In this software the problem is two folds, some parts of the software are clearly free, and some other parts are a fork of some code under APSL 2. Which leaves two options: rewriting the non-free part, or splitting in two packages, one for contrib and one for non-free. I think some software was already built on the libs provided by this package[1], so it is not trivial at all (indirect dependencies make some packages depend on it via the shlibs mecanism). Which makes me wonder whether APSL 2 is acceptable for non-free?
