Hello, This is to confirm that I accept that the file ae.sty be distributed under the LPPL, with the following statement % This work may be distributed and/or modified under the % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 % of this license or (at your option) any later version. % The latest version of this license is in % http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt % and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX % version 2005/12/01 or later. However, as far as I remember, my contribution to the file was really just only two lines. I would have no problem to leave the copyright to Lars Engebretsen.
