[Bug 313541] [NEW] texmf-texlive/tex/latex/resume/res.cls seems to have incompatible license

[gavinmc]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: texlive-base

Hi,

I regret to report that it appears texmf-
texlive/tex/latex/resume/res.cls is neither DFSG nor GPL (nor by most
other definitions) free software.

In particular "provided that the copies are not made or distributed for
resale" seems to to contradict those licenses.

I don't know the author, but if you like I'll email him and see would he
consider releasing under a compatible license.

Gavin
