[tex-hyphen] License of hyphenation patterns

[Karl Berry]

    Who will attend the meeting from TUG side 

Speaking as a member of the TUG board of directors, I can say that the
whole hyphenation stuff has nothing in particular to do with TUG,
organizationally/administratively.  TUG per se has no technical staff
and no substantive budget.  All TeX work in the hyphenation area, and
essentially all others, is done by volunteers, on their own time, at
their own discretion. 

At any rate, there is no magic bullet for this issue.  If you want
authors to change licenses, each one has to be approached individually
and the argument made.  Some may agree, some won't.  That's how it goes.
TUG, as such, has no sway in the matter.  -k
