The author, Gerd Neugebauer, has clarified the license here: <http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-April/031403.html> I have written the packages for a series of articles in "Die TeXnische Komödie" with a common section title "Aus dem Fundus". That's where the name comes from. Thuis is the only relation between the packages. To clarify the license issue: - The packages can be distributed and used separately under the conditions of the LPPL There's no version of the LPPL specified, but I believe that we're safe if we assume that the newest version at the time of his writing that message applies, which would be LPPL-1.3c.
Fixed in CVS.
