That's the main issue that I (personally) see as a problem with
the LPPL.  As I said in previous exchanges (mostly with Robin),
none of the Debian people who have qualms have articulated those
qualms in public.

- From my mail, it looks like two of them are likely to be

   * Restrictions on distribution -- requiring the distribution of
     the source (dtx and ins files) as well as the derived files
     (sty, tex, ps, pdf, etc.), despite the appearance of
     copyright statements.  (Debian currently distributes a
     separate tetex-source package that contains the dtx and ins
     files.)

   * Questions about the requirement to rename modified files.

If you want to get a better idea of what some of the more
``hard-line'' Debian people are thinking, I (or Frank) could
submit the text of Frank's changes to the
<[log in to unmask]> mailing list for discussion or
invite interested parties from that list to join latex-l for (at
least) the duration of this discussion.
