No reaction so far. Anyway, we would have needed a real free license
statement to include this into teTeX. A Debian-specific or
teTeX-specific permission is not acceptable, because many people and
commercial software vendors that are neither Debian nor Thomas Esser
rely on being able to use Debian and teTeX for their products.
I think we will not be able to fix this bug. Mr. Dassen, do you agree
that we can close this bug?
Best Regards, and a happy Christmas,
Frank
