Well, it's vague as it is in sources. It is kinda-BSD with gperf GPL2+ with 
more BSD-style additions with zlib thrown in and mixed with 3+ more free 
software license, some of them are BSD-like and some are not. Take a look at 
Debian's copyright file and you'll get the idea:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/ace/ace_5.6.3-5/libace-5.6.3.copyright

I just don't know how to handle it better. Maybe just call it "ACE license" 
and let anyone interested dig that details themselves?
