Question about Licenses

Hello Mates,

i'm one of your Packager for openSUSE.

I've noticed that the following files has special licenses:

TeXmacs-1.0.7.10-src/TeXmacs/langs/natural/hyphen/hyphen.dutch
TeXmacs-1.0.7.10-src/TeXmacs/langs/natural/hyphen/hyphen.german
TeXmacs-1.0.7.10-src/TeXmacs/langs/natural/hyphen/hyphen.sloven

It says:
| % General permission for non-profit usage is granted.
| % For commercial usage contact CELEX at the above address.
| % Copying of this file is only permitted with inclusion of
| % this copyright notice and with these same restrictions.

So the Question is, can we use it in our Packages, or not? Otherwise we must
remove that files for providing a package.

Many greetings
Sascha

Thanks for noticing this problem to us.
I replaced the files by newer versions under
the LaTeX Project Public License.
