Does anyone at Debian have a suggested resolution for this?

Looking at the license for the Vigra sources, it seems that it is of 
the 'non-commercial' type - You are not allowed to profit from 
selling the sourcecode (but can do whatever you like with binaries).

I can see why this would fail an Open Source test, is that right?

The other problem (I think) is that modifications to vigra can't be 
GPL licensed since they are required to be public domain.  Can this 
be resolved by reverting to using Vigra as an external library?
