Hi, unfortunately, at Debian, we would have to remove the package latex2html from our distribution because of a license issue we consider non-free [1] if the license doesn't change.
The license part in question is: /usr/share/doc/latex2html/copyright (by Nikos Drakos): ======================================================================== [...] Use and copying of this software and the preparation of derivative works based on this software are permitted, so long as the following conditions are met: [...] o No fees or compensation are charged for use, copies, or access to this software. You may charge a nominal distribution fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, but you may not charge for the program itself. [...] ======================================================================== Our guidelines forbid us to distribute software whose redistribution is restricted (here: no fee is allowed at all). It would be nice to have latex2html licensed under a free (in our sense) license, e.g. the GPL. At least, free redistribution and modification (and in turn, its redistribution) would be needed. Note: This concerns all free Linux (or whatever) distributions, not just Debian. Thanks for considering. Roland Stigge Debian Project [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=204684
