in essence, that's what the catalogue now says: "other" => nonfree
(unless you have other information, and i don't believe we have in
this case).

[note that we're no longer maintaining the ctan nonfree tree -- it's
just too much hassle (not least because of hassle from the people who
don't believe in the concept of free/nonfree).  things like
ghostscript, and like cstex would be, part free and part nonfree, are
also a problem.]

perhaps csplain should just be dropped from texlive ... like ukhyphen
was.  (i was cross about that, but i understood the reasoning.)

(all those tetex lists snipped, since it's no longer a tetex question;
texlive kept in because texlive is still an active distribution.)
