Bug#483215: texlive-latex-recommended: license status of extsizes is not documented in the upstream distribution

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-latex-recommended
Version: 2007-14
Severity: important

in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356853#64, the
original author agreed with the public domain license which the current
maintainer, James Kilfiger, suggested.

But after that nothing happened, I mixed up names in the mail to James
Kilfiger, and he didn't react.

We should follow up on this and make sure that a version with a proper
licensing notice is uploaded to CTAN. Preferrably by preparing an
updated readme with the license text and filelist, and sending it to
James for review, offering to do the upload.

Regards, Frank
