This would mean that a priori we can assume that these bugs are not RC
for TeX live, as this is a blanket license statement of following the
DFSG in inclusion of packages (plus GFDL documents which have already
been removed from the packages).
For those problems surfacing we are contacting upstream (=texlive dev
list) and up-upstream (original authors) normally.
