Hi, thank you Branden for your comparison and all the work you folks put into this issue!

I am therefore not sure Debian is shipping > anything under the new license yet. Not in the teTeX packages, perhaps in some other TeX-related package. A new teTeX release is under way, but I doubt that it will make it into sarge. On the other hand, I think many LPPL-licensed files contain a "version 1.2 or later" clause. I did not follow the discussion regarding the old LPPL on -legal. I know that it was regarded to be problematic, but not whether it is in fact non-free. Is there any problem with us shipping LPPL-1.2-licensed works? Do we have to sort out whether the files do have a "or later" clause? I hope not - I have other things to do this summer, Debian related and mostly not. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt. Biophysikalische Chemie
