Forwarding Gentoo bug <https://bugs.gentoo.org/436698>.

We've noticed that several packages that are included with TeX Live
2012 are labelled with a non-free catalogue-license in texlive.tlpdb.

noinfo:
   amsmath-it
   ascii-chart
   borceux
   breakcites
   cherokee
   eiad
   formlett
   germbib
   mp3d
   mxedruli
   nature
   oubraces
   outlines
   plain-doc
   subsupscripts

nosource:
   biblatex-swiss-legal
   getoptk
   jlabels

other-nonfree:
   sphack

Looking at the corresponding CTAN pages of these packages, I see that
all of them are marked as having a different (free) license; often
this information was updated during the last few months.

So I wonder, does TeX Live really include non-free packages, or is
texlive.tlpdb just outdated?
