it is not up to you to decide on the license an author chooses.
Did you send your email to DEK for using a very particular license for
TeX itself?
If you think the license is not free, please contact the TeX Live Team
(Karl and me) with legal advise on the matter, and we will reconsider.
Until this time, we are honoring the license requests by authors.</pre>

<p>You completely misunderstand my position. While I abhor licences
for free-as-in-libre software, I fully respect the right of
authors to associate a licence with their work, and I regard
Markus' licence as in no way unacceptable. As I hope you will
have gathered from this thread by now, it is not the licence that
is the problem — it is the fact that the TeX Live installer
enforces a multi-user licence when a user is installing software
for his or her sole personal use. It is the TeX Live installer
that requires attention, not Markus's licence.</p>
