Not all of LaTeX in teTeX have this restrictive license.
That's why part of it have been moved to tetex-nonfree in non-free.
I think most of LaTeX is covered by the special DFSG condition
"The license may require derived works to carry a different name or
version number from the original software.".
If this applies to fontinst, then it would be ok for main. If it just
forbids derived works, not even under a different name, it surely would
not.
