Re: utbmciad-report changed to nonfree license

Great, thanks!

Should the license be updated as well in texlive.tlpdb? It still says
'other-nonfree' and that trips our builds. I suppose my request depends on
the meaning of the license field – whether it refers to the package as
distributed on TeX Live, or to the original license on CTAN. If it's the
latter, that's ok, we can easily patch 'nonfree' out of texlive.tlpdb when
extracting the metadata.

Best,
Vincenzo
