Could you please imagine one? Remember to include in your imagined scenario that the unmodified Base Format will have a documented option to turn off validation. > > > > b.

I don't think this would be acceptable to the LaTeX people, if you mean that it must be legal to keep the identification strings that are displayed to the user unchanged, thereby creating a derived work that actively tries to misrepresent itself as the original work. I do not think that the DFSG requires that such misrepresentations be legal, either. -- Henning Makholm "Jeg mener, at der eksisterer et hemmeligt selskab med forgreninger i hele verden, som arbejder i det skjulte for at udsprede det rygte at der eksisterer en verdensomspændende sammensværgelse."
