Package: dvi2tty
Version: 5.3.1-3
Severity: serious
>From dvi2tty.c:

However, there's also this text in README:

| Thats all, good luck.

so this is unclear. I'm still filing as serious, since others have
treated this program as non-free for a while, e.g. CTAN, and recently a
SuSE license team research brought it up.
