Hmm... in that case, I should mention my experience with XyMTeX, an organic chemistry LaTeX package included in TeX Live. Anyone else who wants to comment on non-DFSG-free components of TeX Live may as well follow up to this email. See Debian bug #304714 where I had originally filed an ITP, and the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/04/msg00408.html where I asked about the license. Unfortunately, when I emailed the author for a license clarification, his reply was as follows: > I regret to say that only personal redistribution (except CTAN) is > permissible. > Thank your for your kind attention to XyMTeX. > > Sincerely Yours > > Shinsaku Fujita Just noticed that someone's opened an RFP bug #340555 for XyMTeX, so CC-ing this there. (To answer a question in the RFP, upstream's email address is fujitas (at) chem.kit.ac.jp if anyone wants to try convincing him to license it DFSG-freely.) regards, -- Kevin B.
