Fedora: Which, BTW, is complete rubbish, I have to tell them. The classify
ptex as non-free, and state that it is "chinese" grrr... its Japanese,
and there is a English Copyright statement.
I don't see much win in re-doing what Feora did. Fedora reported to
the upstream TL mailing list, we (upstream) TL have acted upon that
by:
- fixing/uploading new versions with fixed copyright
- removing definitely non-free stuff from TL
so the license auditing should be done on TL (upstream) level,
not each distribution by itself.
Thus, I suggest you to:
- join the upstream texlive mailing list
- read through the thread started by Jindrich (fedora) on that topic
- help tracking down missing things
- fix it in TL upstream.
And when TL2011 is packaged, then we have all these problems solved.

I am not overly happy to immediately add you out of the simple reason that
this also allows access to the svn repository. But I have you added
anyway.
Welcome
Best wishes
