I don't know what you want to say with that, or what Josip exactly
wanted to point out with this example. I simply had the impression that
you wasn't aware of that clause.
At least I know that there have been discussions wether the LaTeX
Project Public License is DFSG-free, and the main point in that
discussion was the "change filename" requirement. I don't know whether
you call that "an issue".
