Not blaming anyone...

Whether a package is correctly licensed is certainly relevant to an ITP.
libjpeg-turbo is released with a different license than libjpeg, so it is

Thanks for giving the extra info on the license,

Ok, the license mismatch is a bummer... License issues surely are subject of an ITP. Agreed.
