true Bill, but irrelevent in this discussion as Branden correctly points out below > The LaTeX Project is at liberty to represent the LPPL as a "free" > license to whoever it wishes, regardless of what terms the LPPL actually > contains. > > The only definition of "free" that is important to Debian in the current > context is that embodied by the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
