Sorry for taking so much time, but this is one of those boring tasks with unclear non-technical choices[1] to make, so... [1] Who are the copyright holders for $file? Which years to put in the copyright notice? Is the file even copyrightable? etc. -- Florent

You've forwarded it to Lars, so that he'll do the upload? Sorry for taking so much time, but this is one of those boring tasks with unclear non-technical choices[1] to make, so... No need to apologize. I also didn't want to bug you, just ask: I looked through texlive's RC bugs and found these two, inherited from tetex...

But indeed, I don't recall having seen it on -tex-maint. Maybe because it has an attachment of approx. 230 Ko? Hmmm... No need to apologize. I also didn't want to bug you, just ask: I looked through texlive's RC bugs and found these two, inherited from tetex... But all the contributors responded positively several months ago, so that *had* to be done... -- Florent

Hi, Rolf Niepraschk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My account has been changed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be nice if you can change this also in ae.sty. This address is the one I tried previously. So, you mean we should use the @gmx.de one instead, right? From a pratical point of view, I think I'll put your name and that of Gilbert Ritschard in the Copyright line of ae.sty (as hinted by ae's README), and will inlude the names along with the email addresses in an AUTHORS file, so that there is only one place to update when an email address changes. Of course you can change it. All my packages have LPPL license. Great, thank you very much. We now have the permission from all copyright holders I could identify for ae. :-) When I have some time, I'll submit an updated package to Lars with the LPPL license applied to all files, which he can review and upload to CTAN.

Dear Rolf, I'm trying to reach you again using a different address, because my previous attempt[1] with your @ptb.de address failed. As part of a license audit in progress for the TeX distributions teTeX and TeX Live, we Debian[2] TeX maintainers found that a number of files in the ae package have no license statement, which unfortunately renders them undistributable. We think that the most natural choice of license for the ae package would be the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL), whose text can be found at this address: http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/ We got the agreement of its current maintainer, Lars Engebretsen, to arrange for an update of the ae package using this license, provided that the various copyright holders give us the permission to do so (all of them already did, except you). Looking at the ae package, it appears that you hold copyright on the following file: tex/ae.sty Do you accept that this file be distributed under the LPPL, with the following statement, as suggested in the latest version of the LPPL? % This work may be distributed and/or modified under the % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 % of this license or (at your option) any later version. % The latest version of this license is in % http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt % and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX % version 2005/12/01 or later. (ideally, you would send your answer in a digitally-signed mail) Many thanks for your work, and in advance for considering this request.

Thank you very much for your prompt and positive reply. However, as far as I remember, my contribution to the file was really just only two lines. I would have no problem to leave the copyright to Lars Engebretsen. That's quite possible. I just had no easy way to determine the extent of your contribution, and therefore whether it was actually copyrightable.
