>From the release notes of the latest upstream release (as of 2017-01-31):
[...]
Replace a test file but which had a "non-commercial use-only" copyright
permission file with a newer version from the Cyrus imapd package which now has
a 4-clause BSD license, which was making some lawyers nervous, even though the
test file in question was only used in lib/et's regression testing and was
never included in any compiled binary. (Addresses Debian Bug: #840733)
[...]

Updating to 1.43.4 or later will resolve this.
