Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Radhakrishnan CV <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Raju Mathur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: TeXLive 2003 Date: 01 Oct 2003 09:30:22 +0530 TUGIndia are happy to announce that TeXLive 2003 has been released (stable final release) and we have the iso images of demo, install and live versions of the CD/DVD. Install version is what a normal user would need. Live version is ready-to-run TeX system for 12 operating systems in a DVD without installing unto your harddisk and demo is a scaled down live version for Linux, Win32 and Mac OSX alone. All the bzipped ISO images at: http://sarovar.org/projects/texlive PDF and JPG files of all the CD/DVD labels and covers are also available here. You might find details about TeXLive at: http://texlive.sarovar.org Be warned that bzipped images of install and demo CD's are roughly 270 MB and 571 MB respectively. Compressed DVD image is 516 MB. The page might show you the filesize as single digit bytes, that's because it is a symlink from the mirror folder. TeXLive is an ongoing project at TUG, so we would sync the newest stable releases always. TUGIndia would make available TeXLive 2003 collection (3 CD set released by TUG), beautifully packaged in a nicely printed CD cover. Looks like a collectors item. We have fixed the price at Rs. 1,000 per set including forwarding and shipping costs. We would dispatch CD's to the individual/institutions who have already paid the cost (of Rs. 500 which was the cost of previous release of TeXLive) and waiting for TeXLive's release without any burden of extra cost. This is in recognition of their patience and interest in TeXLive. People who are fortunate to have a fat bandwidth might grab the images from sarovar.org. They are free to make copies and distribute, but respect the licences of the packages. Recently, Springer-Verlag copied TeXLive 7 CD and distributed along with one of their LaTeX books with explicit instruction on the CD that "contents of the CD should not be copied or distributed" which is a clear violation of the licences of thousands of packages in the CD. By doing such a thing, one invites the wrath of TUG, FSF and obviously runs the risk of litigation. Compilation of the TeXLive CD is the result of the hard work of hundreds of developers' for several months apart from the terrific work of several thousand contributors who wrote all the software solely for the benefit of the user community. By purchasing the TeXLive, the cost of which is only that of the media and shipping, you promote a great movement that stands for software freedom.
