He said GNU and Artistic licences.

I took that to mean no choice.
Having read the copyright, it is not GPL. LPRng uses GNU gettext,
which is GPL, for NLS support. In other words it is distributed under
GNU and Artistic licenses, meaning no choice. Would that be
problematic (either omitting NLS support or requiring the gettext for
any builds that require NLS support) for anyone? Otherwise to keep
life simple, it should stay in ports.
