Hi,

Math-Calc-Units is not used from within the monitoring-plugins, it is used by the Monitoring::Plugin perl module which is under the perl license. Both are not required and or used by the monitoring-plugins, therefor i see no reason how this could be a issue somehow.
We just pack the plugins and the perl module together in a single tarball for easier deployment.

Cheers,
 Sven
