Hi Branden,
if you look at the mail below, you can see that this discussion is
obsolete now.

Due to problems in a fragile packaging script, approximately 85% of the
files in the recent GNU Ghostscript 5.50 release had an incorrect
copyright/license notice. As a result, the files have conflicting licenses
that make it impossible for anyone to legally redistribute this release.
Please delete all copies of this release immediately.
When we finish "fixing" the packaging script (this being at least the fourth
time we have "fixed" it), we will make a new release, which will be numbered
GNU Ghostscript 5.51. We cannot predict how long this will take, so please
do not ask us for a date, even an approximate one.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
