Those binaries are statically linked, so you shouldn't need the DU
libraries.  I don't think you need the DU licenses, but don't quote me
on that -- I don't know the legal details.

But for those of us who are interested in seeing free software work
well on its own, it would be best to find and squash the bugs rather
than just avoid them by using non-free solutions.
