Reason: The only indication of license is "License: Absolutely Free :)",
which, while cute, is not a license.
Agreed. I have removed it from TL.
Robin, please change it to other-nonfree in the Catalogue, if you're
so inclined.
This code is circa 2006 and the author appears to be "Matthias
Bilger", so there is a possibility that the author would be willing
to put a real license on their code to resolve this issue. No
attempt at contacting Matthias Bilger has yet been made.
I do hope someone will try to contact Bilger, but I cannot take that on.
Thanks,
Karl
P.S. Let me also mention, in response to:
Fedora is easing up on its previous stance of dealing with code
which is indicated by the original copyright holder as being in the
Public Domain.
I am very *very* glad to hear that
