I've seen that some people include the "LPPL 1.2 or any later version" language into their license notice. Those people would be fine (although I would recommend that notice be given of this particular license change as a gesture of goodwill to the community). For the rest, someone should track them down and ask if they agree to this. I assume that the authors have placed contact information inside their independent works, so this might not be so difficult. It's possible that the "main part" of LaTeX could be licensed under the LPPL 1.3 (with the new file rename relaxation), and portions could have an additional restriction applied that re-applies the old-style filename restriction. This would not be ideal from Debian's point of view, but it would end the debate regarding the freeness of "LaTeX", and move the burden to us for dealing with those holdout files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
