Tcl/Tk 8.6 is coming soon, so I think it may be the time to deprecate

Debian, as policy, ignores patents which are not being actively and

You may want to take a look at the Community Distribution Patent
Policy FAQ, prepared for Debian by the SFLC:
http://www.debian.org/reports/patent-faq
IIRC the DPL is working on more patent related stuff too.

The free GPL licensed version could be included in the repos, what do you think?
