Have tried to contact the author, maybe he would be willing to relicense it? https://ds26gte.github.io/
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #2) > Have tried [...] This should read "Have you tried [...]".
No, I have not.
Mail to upstream sent and a first reply was received (suggesting Apache-2.0).
Upstream has added an Apache-2.0 license to the distribution. SRC_URI is now: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/slatex/slatex.tar.bz2 Not sure about the version number; version.tex still says 20090928, whereas the history file has 20180415 as its latest entry.
