d4x is "downloader for X", a download manager. Its license says "This
Program is free but not GPL!!! You can't modify it [...]".

ivman, a "daemon to auto-mount and manage media devices", is not
explicit about the license used. It was also orphaned, so it is not easy
to fix upstream.

Both are included in the Ubuntu main repositories, and excluded in ours.
