Eh... I think I remember that it was thrown in for Knuth's software, thoughI don't remember the specifics of those licenses and packages. I do remember that there were specific pieces of software that we wanted to include at the time which we felt the distribution could not do without which needed the patch clause to be acceptable. The way I remember it, we would not have included the patch clause if we hadn't had a specific need for it. But I'd want to dig up the old licenses to be sure that my memory is correct. -- Raul
