Hi, |

while adding cyrillic packages for texlive I've come across a |
4 |
restrictive license for the literat package. |

As it'll be distributed with texlive ebuilds I think it's fine, but I |
71 |
find the license a bit restrictive so I've not added the package for |
72 |
now. |
73 |
|
74 |
Is that license acceptable for us ? |
75 |
If yes, that'll be trivial to re-add the package. |
