Bug#482915: texlive-doc-en: No license info for some fontinst documentation



Hi Frank,

I was reading through this last open RC bug in texlive-doc (the
catalogue is already blacklisted)

Which talks subdirectory? There is non in TeX Live, or do I miss
something?

Found that, and it is the very same eps, so the source is here.

What should we do now? I guess - honestly - that we will not reach ALan
Jeffrey about that, we are talking about 1995!!!

I could simply include the roadmap.fig and so it be with it.

What do you think?

Best wishes

Norbert
