only old releases of ghostscript are actual free software ...

I don't like this whole kaffe license bit .... they can allways sell
exceptions to the GPL license so that when someone buys that, they can
redistribute their version under any license they please (maybe with
certain restrictions) .... they could give out the source to paying
customers ... as long as you own teh copyright you can release the
source under different copyright as well ...
