[STR Closed w/Resolution]

Well, since we are the copyright holder we can say that the BSD license in
the SCSI backend sources is compatible, just as we say you can mix CUPS
with OpenSSL - the CUPS license is GPL2+LGPL2+exceptions.

In any case, since a) the SCSI backend is never used, b) we have removed
it from CUPS trunk, and c) Linux distributors can always remove the SCSI
backend from the list of legacy backends that are built and installed with
the current releases of CUPS, I'm going to just dupe this bug against STR
#3500.
