Thanks for the answer, Karl.
In my case I do not modify any LaTeX code, I just generate png's with a LaTeX environment, some of them interactively some of them for the UI buttons (the program is an equation editor). Images generated with LaTeX are really simple, for example just including a Greek letter, so I even do not find legitimate to "strongly" license them with a CC-BY-SA, for example. At some point I'll need to ask for legal details about licensing the stuff the right way. Thanks also for pointing out Puszcza, I will probably consider it if I finally do not move to Savannah. (The program currently uses Qt, which I know that does not pass Savannah hosting requirements, but I am in the middle of a rewriting and maybe I move to Gtk) Best, Daniel On 23/8/20 23:07, Karl Berry wrote: > Hi Daniel - Most LaTeX packages are released under the LaTeX Project > Public License, which is incompatible with the GPL, and therefore cannot > be hosted on Savannah, despite being acceptable free software licenses. > At least that is my understanding. > > OTOH, if the LPPL stuff is only a dependency, e.g., for the sake of a > manual that you wrote in LaTeX, and nothing in your project is itself > licensed under the LPPL, then it would seem ok to me. > > As for images, it depends on the license of those images. > > It's all in the details when it comes to this stuff ... --best, karl. > > P.S.
