Is it legal to tow if you just have a light sport license? If not, what's
the point?

Private pilots can fly LSAs. Those people who are towing hang gliders are
lobbying for towing with the experimental LSAs (the Dragonflys and so
forth).
If you could build an LSA similar to a Katana with 150 HP or so, I bet
that could make a dandy towplane. LSAs don't have to go through a complete
certification, so it's possible someone could design a towplane that would
have lower fuel burn and faster cycle time than existing towplanes.
It might even be able to double as a motorglider trainer when it wasn't
towing.
