I remember a discussion about this in RMS's works, but do not remember the outcome. The situation with LPPL is exactly the same. The rule of thumb is, I think, this: if in a given situation you cannot do something a closed derivative of a GPL'ed work, then you cannot do this with a modified LaTeX without name change. -- Good luck -Boris War is an equal opportunity destroyer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
