This also applies to other files in /usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/cslatex/,
namely nhelvet.sty and cspsfont.{il2,tex,xl2}.

On CTAN there is CTAN:macros/cstex/license.eng which also mentiones GPL
for cspsfonts. This does require further investigation, though. The tar
ball CTAN:macros/cstex/base/cspsfonts.tar.gz does not contain the source
file cspsfont.doc.
It does contain some of the font metrics that Frank and I were talking
about in another thread. :-)
