libforms-doc doesn't seem to be distributable... I better move that to
bad.txt... fast :)
For moria, I found this,
"Moria may be copied and modified freely, but may not be sold or
marketed IN ANY FORM"
I don't know what "marketed IN ANY FORM" refers to. To me, any form of
advertising is "marketed". Amd64 "advertised" on Debian mailing lists
and such. I didn't feel comfortable.
Lastly for trn4, no debian/*copyright file(s) I could extract.
But I'm glad our independent findings matched up (on the conservative
side) with the exception of my libforms-doc blunder.
