Re: utbmciad-report changed to nonfree license

Hello Vincenzo,

AFAIK TeX Live did _not_ include the non-free logos (i.e. the
contents of the “logos/” directory on CTAN), but only the _free_
LaTeX material.  According to the package author, this can be
made to work using some free dummy logos that are included.

So I think there should be no problem.

   Best regards,
      Petra  (from the CTAN team)
