Those licensing issues would be blockers in general, but in that case
some problematic softwares are in tetex already, it is an already existing

in, given that most of the time the issue is that a license is missing,
and the author intention is certainly to make free software.
If we are distributing software without a clear written license, we
should stop doing so. If you did do it without the knowledge that there
is a problem, then that is different from knowingly ignoring a licensing
issue and you can suffer more damages as a result. It is a blocker.
I mailed all the issues I found out to the texlive maintainer and
Spot
is also doing a license review.
