        LaTeX2e Copyright, Warranty and Distribution Restrictions
 
                          18 June 1995


COPYRIGHT
=========

This distribution is Copyright 1993-1995 the LaTeX3 project and the
individual authors:

   Leslie Lamport
   Johannes Braams 
   David Carlisle
   Alan Jeffrey
   Frank Mittelbach
   Chris Rowley

All rights reserved.

The individual packages may bear additional copyright notices which
supersede this general copyright notice.


WARRANTY
========

There is no warranty for LaTeX2e, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.  Except when otherwise stated in writing, the LaTeX3
project provides the program `as is' without warranty of any kind,
either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose.  The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the
program is with you.  Should the program prove defective, you assume
the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing
will the LaTeX3 project, or any of the individual authors named above,
be liable to you for damages, including any general, special,
incidental or consequential damages arising out of any use of the
program or out of inability to use the program (including but not
limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses
sustained by you or by third parties as a result of a failure of the
program to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or
other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.


DISTRIBUTION
============  

Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files
listed in the file manifest.txt are distributed, including this file.

If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain!


However, if these files are distributed by established suppliers as
part of a complete TeX distribution, and the structure of the
distribution would make it difficult to distribute the whole set of
files, *those parties only* are allowed to distribute just some of the
files, provided that:

 *  their distribution includes a fully functional LaTeX system or
enables the receiver to set up a fully functional LaTeX system;

 *  their distribution contains all the documentation concerning the
system in general, such as the *guide.tex files;

 *  it is clearly stated how the user can get a complete distribution,
including all the files listed in manifest.txt, on request to and from
that supplier (not from us).

Note that this permission is not granted to the end user.


The distribution of changed versions of certain files included in the
LaTeX2e system, and the reuse of code from those files, are allowed
under the following restrictions:

 * It is allowed only if the copyright notice in the file does not
   expressly forbid it.

 * You rename the file before you make any changes to it, unless the
   file explicitly says otherwise.  

 * You change the `identification string' to clearly indicate that the
   file is not part of the standard system.

   This `identification string' is in the optional argument of
   whichever of the following three commands appears in the file:
   \ProvidesClass, \ProvidesFile, \ProvidesPackage.

 * You change the ERROR REPORT address so that we do not get error
   reports for files *not* maintained by us.

 * You acknowledge the source and authorship of the original version
   in the modified file.

 * You provide the user with information on how to obtain the original
   versions of all files or, even better, distribute them with
   your files.
   
These restrictions do *not* all apply to the LaTeX configuration files
ending with .cfg or .fd.  Information about customising these files
can be found in the copyright notices in those files.  See the
documentation in cfgguide.tex for information on when it makes sense
to modify or generate such files.

The above restrictions are not intended to prohibit the updating, by
any method, of a file so that it becomes identical to the latest
version of that file in the standard release of the LaTeX system.
