Nonfree packages cc-pl, mex, pl and hyphen-polish in texlive distribution

[Wojtek Kosior]

Any changes/responses on the matter?

>From what I see, the files contents on CTAN  (https://ctan.org/texarchive/language/polish) haven't changed. Can we be 100% sure about the precedence of the public domain statement?

Some confirmation could also help others who also got confused (Hyperbola, MikTex).

Wojtek Kosior
