Hi everyone, I had an e-mail conversation with Sven Hartrumpf and Nils M Holm about the TK eggs and their licensing status. I got the following declaration by Sven Hartrumpf about Scheme_wish:

No, BSDL would be fine. > Oh, and BTW: Thanks for writing scheme_wish! You are welcome! Unfortunately, I had only one project which used scheme_wish. Therefore there was not much progress after the initial release of scheme_wish. Ciao Sven ----- End forwarded message ----- This clears up the usage of scheme_wish; it can be used under BSD license. However, I never got a reply from Wolf-Dieter Busch so the license status of Tk is a little unclear (and PS-tk is built on it). According to Nils Holm, the Bremer Licenz is equivalent to the BSD license, except without a disclaimer because this is not allowed by German law(?), but he's no lawyer and neither am I, so anyone who wants to be absolutely in the clear about the use of PS-tk should probably try to contact Wolf-Dieter himself.
