No. I thought (and I am already sorry to have kicked of this discussion)
that it was removed from tetex because of the current license and not
the old one. 

So for now I leave it in, also in the Debian packages. We brought it to
debian-legal, without response till now. If there is a change, you will
hear from me.

Best wishes

Norbert
