No! I contacted the author of the small utility that was non-free, he happily
GPL'ed vgaset. Now, svgatextmode is fully free. I uploaded fixed version
about 24 hours ago. It was installed almost immediately. I closed the bug at
that time. I guess Brian did not look through last minute fixes...
I've reuploaded svgatextmode, and ran dinstall -n on it. dinstall will treat
it like a new package. I hope Guy edits override file one more time before
the freeze ;-)
