Yes, there are other packages with Artistic v1 licensing, but we're working on
getting them relicensed. We're not letting new packages come in with the old
Artistic license.

Specifically, upstream has removed fancybox.sty and relicensed pcatcode.sty. I
think that the texlive folks have handled all of the licensing concerns I found
in the audit, it would be for the best if we could ask them to do a fresh
tarball release, then rebase on that.
