And this source file doesn't seem to be available anywhere (no CTAN
hits, not in CTAN's cspsfonts.tar.gz, and no google hits). 

Do you use cslatex, did you find it during a license auditing, or just
by chance?

In the first two cases I'd like to request your help.  I wouldn't want
to just drop that file without trying to contact upstream and ask for a
relicensing.  Therefore a user who actually speaks czech or slovak would
be helpful.

In the second case, welcome in the club.  I'm doing a license auditing
on teTeX myself currently, and I'd very much appreciate any information
about files you have already checked.

Regards, Frank
