the catalogue entry urw-garamond:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/urw-garamond.html

does indeed say "for free", and i guess i need to change that
(throughout) to "at no cost" (either is true, but "free" is an
overloaded word, best avoided in this context).

the actual licence (just below of the box) is "nocommercial".  this is
quite enough to prevent tex live from using it.

ps, don't rely on sarovar: we don't have any automatic means of updating
it, so it only gets done when someone -- typically rainer -- has spare
time.
