in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356853#64, the
original author agreed with the public domain license which the current
maintainer, James Kilfiger, suggested.

But after that nothing happened, I mixed up names in the mail to James
Kilfiger, and he didn't react.

We should follow up on this and make sure that a version with a proper
licensing notice is uploaded to CTAN. Preferrably by preparing an
updated readme with the license text and filelist, and sending it to
James for review, offering to do the upload.

Regards, Frank

I came across this bug while checking license issues for Debian
derivative gNewSense. It looks like this is the only unresolved one left
in the list of "serious issues" in debian/copyright.

What's the current status? Can we assume that everything in extsizes
falls in the public domain?
