CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 and what is the Limited General Product License?

[Dr. Werner Fink]

Hi,

out license digger run on two files

  tex/latex/forloop/forloop.sty
  tex/latex/coolstr/coolstr.sty

which both states

  %% This file may be distributed and/or modified under the
  %% conditions of the Limited General Product License

but the tlpobj files do state

  catalogue-license lgpl

looks like the author mixed up the `GNU L(esser) G(eneral) P(ublic) L(icense)'
or the catalogue is wrong.

But in the ConTeXt documentation the license digger runs onto five files
with CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 license

 context.doc/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/gracht.mp
 context.doc/texmf-dist/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/metafun-p/metafun-p.pdf
 context.doc/texmf-dist/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/metafun-s/metafun-s.pdf
 context.doc/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/details/detcow.mp
 context.doc/texmf-dist/doc/context/sources/general/manuals/metafun/mycow.mp 

AFAIK CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 is strictly non commercial usage only.  For the two files
metafun-p.pdf and metafun-s.pdf this could be within shown example code but the+
license digger does not distinguish between code and example code.
