Quote from copying.agrep in the source directory:
  4. Redistribution for profit requires the express, written permission
     of the authors.

There is a similar clause on the website. Does the GPL or this clause
take precedence?

Hmm, this is confusing.  The COPYRIGHT and README files in the git
repository say that the license is ICS since Sept 18, 2014, but that’s
not part of the tarball.

:~/ ?

I’m not so happy to put this in base, by the way.  I just added it
there because that’s where grep is.  Any other ideas?

Unfortunately, this clause makes agrep not free software. Indeed, Debian
distributes it from their non-free repos:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/agrep

This is confusing.  Debian has version 4.17-9 but I don’t even know
where they got it from.  The home page that’s linked there only has 2.x
tarballs.

And this clashes with the declaration of the ICS version in the git
repo.

Weird!  I really don’t mind dropping this patch (I just packaged it
while demonstrating Guix), but it’s sad that the license situation here
is so contradictory.

I'd use 'textutils.scm', but there is also 'code.scm' with similar
tools.

So I’m closing this entry if you don’t mind.  :-)
