The seetexk software is currently licensed as follows:
* Copyright (c) 1987, 1989 University of Maryland
* Department of Computer Science. All rights reserved.
* Permission to copy for any purpose is hereby granted
* so long as this copyright notice remains intact.
This license is problematic for TeXLive (and Fedora) because it lacks
permission to freely modify and redistribute. There are a few ways that
it could be resolved:
* UMD could give permission for seetexk to be used, modified, and/or
distributed under the terms of a known Free License (e.g. MIT).
or
* UMD could amend the existing license to add the missing permissions,
for example:
* Copyright (c) 1987, 1989, 2012 University of Maryland
* Department of Computer Science. All rights reserved.
* Permission to copy, modify, and/or distribute for any purpose is
* hereby granted so long as this copyright notice remains intact.
Hope that makes it clear.
