Hello Salvatore,
Thank you for your interest and help.
Alexey has stated in the texinfo/copyright.texi file of the 1.11.3 version in
the SVN sourceforge repository of mathgl, that the change applies
retrospectively to all previous versions of mathgl. I will upload a 1.11.2-17
version to unstable probably tonight and hope for the best.
Best regards
Dimitris
