Thomas,

The remark in the file you mentioned used to be in one of the files 
contributed to the babel package as well. Quite some time ago it has been 
removed from there. All files distributed as part of the babel distribution 
(under CTAN:/macros/latex/required/babel) follow the LPPL.
Files distributed by other means, in other parts of CTAN are out of my control 
or responsibility.
Now, in this case, I think Apostolos might probably be willing to remove this 
file IMPORTANT based on the same arguments for removing the remark from the 
Babel distribution. But it has to be *his* decision.

With regards to iso-8859-7.def, I think it should perhaps be merged into 
inputenc.dtx as latin7.def, once it's become stable. I do remember seeing 
Frank having a conversation about it at one time.
