Seminar has a separate license statement in sem-read.me which the Debian
folks understood as overwriting the statements in the files:
,----[ /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/seminar/sem-read.me.gz ]
| IMPORTANT NOTE
|
| With the agreement of Timothy Van Zandt (now tvz at 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
| Sebastian Rahtz <sebastian.rahtz at oucs.ox.ac.uk>
| Denis Girou <denis.girou at idris.fr>
|

In http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=327741 there's a
discussion about contacting Timothy and uploading to CTAN, Sebastian
Rahtz was also involved back then.
