I talked to Kim, which maintains e16 now, was not directly against it, however
there a lot of contributions to the now very old source code. Reaching
consensus with everyone seems a bit off for such a old project.

However it would make sense to change the license in - yet to be released -
e17. It seems already to be changed to something like pure MIT:

It's should be fine, ref. e16 and e16-themes was ok with this.

The real reason is that docs don't make much sense without e16 and that
document viewer for e16 help files is in e16.

They are available in bitstream-vera-fonts, will fix this.
