Thanks for clarification. I'm not a lawyer but we are rather strict
with regards to ship only packages which are really freely
distributable. GFSL license indeed looks the same like LPPL so I
reenabled it and I'm now generating new packages in the repository
according to this change.

I disabled packages under GFSL license because GFSL was missing in:
http://ftp.cstug.cz/pub/tex/CTAN/help/Catalogue/licenses.html
in the list of free licenses.

Thanks,
Jindrich
