No amount of license changes will prevent site administrators making th=

own changes to their LaTeX installation, and I would hope major distrib=
utors=20
would have enough respect for their users and the LaTeX community not t=

such a gratuitous change in any case. No, I do not believe this is a go=

argument for making a package unfree.
