I understand from Xavier that his project is proceeding more slowly than he
wanted (so it goes, as we all know). I would like to know if a window of
opportunity is open for me to contact the licenseholders of the packages
concerned to ask if they would allow their material to be distributed in the
way that ORA-FR has in mind.
My reason for asking is that in order to make up GUTenberg's late, large
order, we had to deplete our stocks of TL4a and are considering asking ORA to
replenish us. Xavier is amenable to this.
I know some of the licenseholders of the above, and would expect to be able
to, in many cases, obtain permission without any trouble.
So, is there still time for you to add them back in given that I will have
secured an agreement?
I have annotated your list. Can you confirm, or help with the two ?? entries?

Unless I hear back from you that you think this is a Bad Idea, I will commence
contacting the authors involved right away.
