The licenses of both info pages reads a follows:

eplain:

Most of this manual is in the public domain, like most of the Eplain
code.  It was originally written by Karl Berry, starting in 1989. 
Steven Smith wrote the documentation for the commutative diagram
macros; this chapter is under the GNU General Public License.  Adam
Lewenberg has made additions and corrections.  Oleg Katsitadze wrote
the section on LaTeX packages and the chapter on hyperlinks, and
updates throughout.

I remember that the license "public domain" is a little problematic
and we had to exclude some package due to a no-license statment.

latex2man:

says LPPL and a (C) statement:

Copyright
     1998, Dr. JÃŒrgen Vollmer, ViktoriastraÃ?e 15, D-76133 Karlsruhe,
Germany,

Does that hurt us?
