Ahhh... really pity. For me those packages are the pearls! And all macros
are signed LPPL anyway. We have so many packages without doc sources (like 
fonts or context), so I still cannot understand why we have such 
restrictions. I dare swear that for open source packages
we use too much restrictions, or, hmmm... how to say, political
(american :) correctness. All in all:
- the program, macro, font IS open source;
- why we cannot give freedom to the developers to add (also freely
   distributable and readable) the documentation, which is not real,
   workable part of the package itself?

Just the case, as Don Story kindly explained.

All the best,
