Thanks very much!

That's fine by me (with ReportLab's simplified world view).  LGPL
allows people to do what they want with it (we just need to make sure we
have the right notices in the readmes and license files).  Matthias,
I presume it's OK with you?

GPL is the only problematic one; it's deliberately "viral" so the only
way we could include GPL code would be by switching to it.

BTW we replaced the version of Homer's Odyssey with a public domain
one.  We still need to replace a couple of demo fonts.
