[netcdf-java] netcdf-java copyright/license question

Dear netcdf-java developers,

On behalf of the debian med team, I am trying to package netcdf-java
within debian to allow easy installation of netcdf-java. The code is
pretty straightforward to compile and install.
However upon inspection of the netcdf-java 4.3 release, we have found
some issues with the licensing terms. In particular:


/*

I was not able to find those 'terms of license agreement' within the
netcdf-java package. So could someone please point me to those 'terms
of license agreement' ?

Thanks & regards,
