I would like to ask the AMS for an updated license for the CURRENT
version, as they offered in their reply; the current version is 2.0,
which is the one in the gNS repos, as far as I have seen.
The package would then need to include this extra file. I hope that this
is doable without problems.
Is this all we need? Is there a special wording needed / to be avoided?
Are there any more thoughts on that - before I bother the AMS again?
Karl hasn't had much feedback to this question, so I try again.
