My current take: legal.txt requires that all files in manifest.txt be included in the distribution (in debian terms: not necessarily in the same package but on the same media, with an exception for floppies).
If we're not doing that then we shouldn't be distributting LPPL'd code. > Now, let's have a look at a recent texmf tree distributed with teTeX > teTeX-texmf-0.9-990517.tar.gz > prompt> find . -name manifest.txt > ./doc/latex/base/manifest.txt > ./doc/latex/mfnfss/manifest.txt > ./doc/latex/tools/manifest.txt > ./doc/latex/cyrillic/manifest.txt Um, not exactly. legal.txt indicates only one manifest.txt -- not all files named manifest.txt. Furthermore, it indicates that a proper manifest.txt will list legal.txt... so I think the pieces are seperable to that degree. -- Raul
