[suhler@hack.Eng.Sun.COM: Re: Copyright??]



Hello

I am the maintainer from ts, the TeX-Shell.
Jens Poenisch (the upstream author) have make a new version and
move the copyright to GPL. :-)
But he use a html-library from Stephen Uhler, and he have not put the 
copyright for this library in his tar.gz. So, I wrote a mail to Stephen.

Is this Copyright ok for Debian and can I put ts in main?
