Thanks for forwarding this bug upstream, I've usertagged it for easier tracking.
I've also added it to our blacklist, it should vanish from our repos 'soon'.

BEAV is a Binary Editor And Viewer.

I found a non-commercial clause in beav_1.40.orig.tar.gz/beav_1.40.orig.tar/beav-140/beav140.txt where it says that "BEAV source and executable can be freely
distributed for non-commercial purposes."

A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Interpreted strictly, that also be read as not allowing modification.

I've reported this to Debian. Waiting for the bug number...
