Hello,
in the psutils package the License from the original author states
"The included files, md68_0.ps and md71_0.ps (and their uuencoded forms) are
(to the best of my knowledge) copyright Apple Computer, Inc."
Indeed in /usr/lib/psutils in the gnewsense package (deltah) there are those 2
postscript files, without any copyright notice or hint where they come from.
Even the author of psutils doesn't seem to be sure.
Unless proven otherwise, I think we must consider those two files as non-free.
I wanted to mail this list first, to hear your views about this
before opening a bug report.
Technical, those files are used by fixmacps(1), which "fixes" PostScript
generated from a Macintosh PC that it works correctly with psutils package
(according to manpage).
Regards,
Henry
