Hi Weizhong,
many thanks for your very quick response. Adding the license.txt file
is helpfull in fact. However, the basic concern of our ftpmasters is
the PDF file - sorry if my initial mail was not clear enough. They claim
that also documentation needs to be available in source (like LaTeX or
ODF). I personally admit that this in some times might seem strange.
A use case for this requirement might be to possibly adjust some pathes
to the installation location inside Debian (which is not needed here -
but anyway they just consider documentation only as free if it is in an
editable format).
I have no idea whether this fits your intention to handle the
documentation. If not I would simply strip the documentation from the
package and add a link to the download location which is usually
equivalently useful for the user finally.
Thanks again for your quick response
Andreas.
