I'm not a DD. For those interested in my opinion anyway: What if I want to modify Latex to remove the filename mapping? If the DFSG-freeness is dependent on that mechanism, then I can't remove it (for the best or worst of technical reasons) and have it remain DFSG-free. Having freeness dependent on a feature being present is strange. Jeff, I don't know how you could make the renaming requirement dependent on this; then you have to deal with the case that people might remove the feature. Having license conditions dependent on specific features seems like a bad idea. (Of course, it might be nearly impossible to remove that mechanism without completely breaking the entire system, but that doesn't change the point.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
