Looking at the Debian copyright file, there seem to be only three files in ACE
proper which could be problematic.

ACE_wrappers/ace/OS_NS_wchar.cpp - This has a 4-clause BSD license with
copyright belonging to the The Regents of the University of California. The
advertising clause, however, may have been "deleted", and, if so, this file
should be updated
(ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change).

ACE_wrappers/ace/Get_Opt.cpp - This has a 4-clause BSD license with copyrights
belonging to he Regents of the University of California and to The NetBSD
Foundation, Inc. The NetBSD license, may have been changed to the 2-clause
version, and, if so, this file should be updated
(http://www.netbsd.org/about/redistribution.html#why2clause).

ACE_wrappers/ace/UTF*_Encoding_Converter.* - These have a license from Unicode,
Inc. which, in part, reads, "Unicode, Inc. hereby grants the right to freely
use the information supplied in this file in the creation of products
supporting the Unicode Standard, and to make copies of this file in any form
for internal or external distribution as long as this notice remains attached."
This restriction on use may render the files non-free. Fortunately, replacing
them should not be difficult.

The TAO components can be removed. In fact, source packages of only ACE (no
TAO, etc.) are released as part of the normal upstream release cycle (see:
http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/).
