Quoting from the start of /usr/share/doc/tetex-nonfree/copyright.seminar.gz:
#With the agreement of Timothy Van Zandt (now tvz@zandtwerk.kellogg.nwu.edu),
#the distributions conditions on seminar are now relaxed to:
#
# This package may be distributed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public
# License, as described in lppl.txt in the base LaTeX distribution.
# Either version 1.0 or, at your option, any later version.
#
#This overrides the conditions listed below. A new version of
#"seminar" is in preparation by Timothy van Zandt.
#
#June 3rd 1999
This should mean, as far as I know, that seminar is DFSG free
nowadays. (Most of LaTeX2e appears to be licensed under the same LPPL
license.)
Given this, I don't know why seminar is still in tetex-nonfree.
Perhaps I should file a bug report?

I haven't seen that, but then, I haven't produced more than a few sets
of slides. Use xdvi as a workaround?
