Would Clause 3 of > "Conditions on Distribution and Modification" apply? I would say yes, it is a compiled work especially as it contains the sources unchanged (that was one reason of the term to allow something like a TL distribution to rearrange and unpack). The change of inputenc.dtx although necessary, would be in violation though, but that can be amended by giving Heiko permission (and fixing the file which i did in the sources) If one considers the change to inputenc as a derived work (which technically it is) then to fullfil 6a one could do something like ... %<cp1250> \ProvidesFile{cp1250.def} [2006/05/05 v1.1b Input encoding file + documentation fix by HOb] but it should be easier to get an updated file on CTAN and use that :-) > > > And having them on CTAN makes it easier to use them for TL (and other > > distributions, I imagine). > > I agree. > > > Perhaps, for example, > > macros/latex/base-tds.zip > > macros/latex/required/cyrillic-tds.zip > > macros/latex/required/graphics-tds.zip > > macros/latex/required/tools-tds.zip > > Back to latex-tds.

However, it is really more something for the CTAN people to decide in my opinion. Getting the distribution in a better shape should always be a goal. How much of what you have done is or can be automated? frank
