https://metacpan.org/source/AVULLO/Bio-DB-HTS-3.01/DISCLAIMER says: - Perl5 - Indemnity clauses for simply having a copy - Attribution requirements for researchers. The rest of the distribution says Apache-2.0, so I've filed an upstream bug to rectify this.
Having worked in the EMBL-EBI team responsible for Bio::DB::HTS in the not-so-distant past, I am pretty sure you are right and this file is a holdover from ye olden days. Unfortunately it might take them a while to react, not in the least because the guy who owns this package on CPAN left EBI last year and his successor transferred to another team earlier this year... I've just pinged the relevant project leader to hopefully prevent this issue from slipping through the cracks.
As predicted, even though the project leader responded to me pretty much immediately nothing has changed in the code so far. I have just created a pull request removing the problematic file, hopefully that will speed things along.
The offending file has been removed upstream.
Between upstream having already confirmed Apache-2.0 is the only licence that applies, them having removed the offending file from the master branch, and us not installing said file, not much else to do here until upstream has actually released a new version.

On behalf of perl@, I'd just like this kept open until we've bumped it and/or otherwise made sure the various LICENSE definitions in the ebuild are up-to-date. Sci@ don't have to care any more beyond that.
