LICENSING FOR NEW PACKAGES:
Finally, we are often asked what license to use for new work. To be
considered for inclusion on TeX Live, a package must use a free software
license, such as the LaTeX Project Public License, the GNU Public
License, the X Window System license, the modified BSD license, etc., or
be put into the public domain. Please see the url's below for more
discussion of this.
Thanks for your interest in TeX.

3. Reference to an (incomplete) list of licenses of individual parts
Individual parts of this distribution have their own copyright and
license.
3.1 Explanation of the format of the following information
Since most packages use standard licenses, we have separated the list
of license texts and the list of packages and individual files with
their licenses. In section 3.3 we provide the license texts and their
abbreviations used in in the file list. The file list itself is
generated automatically from the TeX Catalogue and can be found, for
each binary package, in /usr/share/doc/texlive-<name>/Licenses.
The information in the TeX Catalogue is checked by the Debian TeX
maintainers and the CTAN maintainers. If you find any contradiction
in the listing with the reality please inform us.
In the case of gpl and lppl, the string without a number means that
the license statement contains a "or any later version" statement. In
the list in Licenses, each package has a header line like this:
% ccfonts: lppl (verification data:1.1:1.1:2006-03-14:frank:readme)
indicating that the package ccfonts is under LPPL, exists in version
1.1, the license has been checked in version 1.1 on 2006-03-14 by
