You> reasonable comment on LPPL draft Me> rather ungracious response:-)
Sorry it had been a long day... I have passed your suggested wording round the other latex develpoers, with a suggestion that we might consider using that. In general though I really don't want to change anything very much. This licence has been used with latex since latex2e came out in 1993 (with only minor modifications since then). As the intention of LPPL is really that it is the old latex licence, with `latex' replaced by `the program' as far as possible it is not really possible to make large changes if we then plan to suggest it to people who just want to distribute latex packages `under the same conditions as latex'. The fact of making the licence generic was not supposed to change those latex conditions in any essential way. I'll let you know what we decide to do about that paragraph, David
