But that isn't all: if the restriction were just that I couldn't distribute my changed (perhaps just very heavily commented) LaTeX kernel under the name LaTeX, that part of the license would be unambiguously DFSG-free. It's the requirement that I change every file name as well, coupled with TeX's heavy dependence on file names, that is the problem here > What more do you want? Would a statement in the license that *either* of the following must happen be acceptable to the LaTeX project? * The modified copy of the Program is distributed under a name which clearly distinguishes it from Standard LaTeX, the unmodified copy. * Any files which share names between the unmodified copy and the modified copy must be identical in content. You may modify files only if you change their names. -Brian
