It's only used for LaTeX output (cf. "\includegraphics{filename}").

Yes.

(Since tclogl is distributed under the BSD license, users of tclogl 
might want to use the "GL2PS" license instead of the GNU LGPL if they 
integrate tclogl in closed-source products. The only difference between 
the GL2PS license and the BSD license is that the GL2PS license requires 
that you/they distribute the sources of gl2ps if you/they modify the 
library).

The sources + the license files (COPYING.GL2PS and COPYING.LGPL)

Cheers,
