Bug#406833: texlive-publishers: kuvio is non-free (no modification allowed)
Package: texlive-publishers
Version: 2005.dfsg.2-4
Severity: serious
>From kuvio/tdwk.dvi.gz (or COPYRIGHT on CTAN):

Clause 2 makes it clearly non-free. It also is no longer present in
TeXLive 2006, which might indicate that Upstream has tried to contact
the author, or decided that this doesn't make sense.
Norbert, is there a changelog for upstream, or anything else that we
could use to get a list of things that have been removed Upstream
because they are non-free?
Regards, Frank
