That is a pain. I generally don't want to blacklist anything that has
been relicensed in later version.
I don't know what to do. Either we add a license statement for the
upgraded version and let it be, or we replace the version currently in
the orig.tar.gz with the one from TL upstream (I checked, only minimal
changes in the sty file), or we blacklist it and re-add it for 2008.
Suggestions?
