The file headers aren't invalid. That sounds like nitpicking,
but "invalid" has different meaning. Anyway, all this is relevant
only when someone uses software in a way that by applicable
law is (a) illegal, and (b) this fact is made a legal issue.
As long as Debian doesn't have any legal obligations, they can
proactively try to reduce the risk of being associated with
software that incurs a surprising legal status. I think that
one way to do this is to collect all available evidence,
and take Dewar's and Charlet's word for it.
Chances are that they represent the legal party that could make
a claim.
