I didn't hear about the XeTeX before, and found it's website via
google, and read the follwing license statement at
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=xetex_download

================================

================================

I wonder, is it allowed to distribute GPL'ed components (XeTeX links
with kpathsea, and uses Web2C's files) with such clearly non-free
license?

Best,
