In the course of +preparation of the latest TeX Live disc, Sebastian Rahtz compiled a +list of the licence status of many available packages, and it is the +CTAN team's intention to extend that list to as full coverage of the +archive holdings as is possible. + +In parallel with this work, we have instituted a new hierarchy on +CTAN, called nonfree/; it is our intention to move all items, for +which there are significant distribution restrictions, to that +hierarchy. + +STRUCTURE + +The nonfree hierarchy mimics the structure of the main part of CTAN; +there are (or may in the future be) sub-hierarchies nonfree/biblio, +/fonts, /graphics, /indexing, /language, /support, /systems and /web + +For each entry in the non-free hierarchy, there is a corresponding +entry in the main part of CTAN, which is a symbolic link to the +nonfree/ hierarchy. Since CTAN does not index symbolic links, the +only appearance that a non-free item makes in the FILES.* files is its +instance on the nonfree/ hierarchy. The `quote site index' command +uses FILES.byname, so that it will always tell you if the item you're +seeking is not free. + +CRITERIA + +Licensing conditions that CTAN currently recognises are listed in + + http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html + +In the terms defined therein, the nonfree/ tree will hold items whose +licensing is unknown, nocommercial, nosell, shareware, or other. + +Notes: + +1. CTAN cannot hold matter whose distribution is restricted, anyway: +the archive has no control over what its mirrors might do. This is +why there is no category `nodistribute'. + +2. The `nonfree' licensing category nosource _does_ stay in the main +CTAN tree; there are usable items on CTAN whose source is not publicly +available, but which are nevertheless freely usable and distributable +by all and sundry. + +3. We need to treat unknown licenses as nonfree, because of the legal +situation in many countries that one is obliged to assume that an +author would not wish his/her propertty to be treated as if it were in +the public domain. We have, as yet, moved nothing of category unknown +to the nonfree/ hierarchy; we will be doing that job later in the +year. + +THE FUTURE + +The CTAN team are slowly moving items to the nonfree/ hierarchy. This +process may be expected to accelerate during the course of this year; +in particular, one may expect items of category unknown to be moved +starting next month (June 1999). + +If *you* are an author who has not responded to an enquiry about the +status of your stuff on CTAN, we urge you to release a new version +which makes its licensing status clear, and to upload that version to +CTAN in the usual way (see README.uploads on any CTAN site). Don't +forget to mail ctan@urz.uni-heidelberg.de -- uploads don't get acted +upon without such a message. + +If you don't do this, and we don't otherwise deduce the status of your +stuff, it is liable to be moved to the nonfree/ hierarchy, and to +disappear from future CD distirbutions of TeX. + +OTHER INFORMATION + +While CTAN is _not_ enforcing an open-source policy, we recommend +sites such as + + http://www.opensource.org/osd.html + +for discussion of the issues behind software licensing. + +------------------------------ + +End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #6 +***************************** + +About TeXhax... + +Please send contributions to: TeXhax@tex.ac.uk + +Subscription and unsubscription requests: + send a one line mail message to TeXhax-Request@tex.ac.uk + containing only the line + subscribe texhax + or + unsubscribe texhax +If you have problems with un/subscribing, +please mail texhax-owner@nottingham.ac.uk + +For information on the TeX Users Group, please send a message to +office@tug.org, or write TeX Users Group, 1466 NW Front Avenue, +Suite 3141, Portland, OR 97209-2820 USA (phone: 1 503 223 9994, +fax: 1 503 223 3960). + +Backnumbers of all the digests are stored in the Comprehensive TeX +Archive Network (CTAN) and can be retrieved on the Internet by +anonymous ftp.

The files are bundled into either psibycus.tgz +or psibycus.zip, to suit the convenience of both the elect and the +infidel. This is a preliminary release, because the font is still +largely unhinted. I will ultimately provide a rather thorough +set of hints, since the primary purpose for making up this font +was to get away from the crude bitmap scaling that is all you +can get out of PDF readers. Hinting, however, is even worse than +filing matrices. It is a soul-destroying bore, and I cannot do +very much of it at any given session. The absence of hints will +not be noticed at resolutions of 600dpi and above. The font has a +private UniqueID in the open range for now, but a registered +UniqueID will be applied for. + +The original METAFONT realization of ibycus4 remains the controlling +form of the font. The TeX user will see absolutely no difference +in the set-widths of the Type1 font because the TFM file for it is +exactly the same as the TFM file for the METAFONT version. (In a +Unix environment, they could be joined by hard or symbolic links.) + +The Type1 control points have been derived from METAFONT log output +generated by "tracingspecs". This is not impossible, as has sometimes +been claimed, but it does take work. + +The bundle consists of: + +1. IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa ( = fibr.pfa = IBYHTGR_.PFB ). + The character designs are Silvio Levi's. Some small differences + in accent positioning and vertical positioning on the classic + METAFONT typeface grid have been allowed. My own lowercase lunate + sigma has been improved. These changes will ultimately be read + back into the ibycus4 METAFONT source. + +2. fibr.tfm (identical with fibr84.tfm). The use of the Type1 font + is specified by calling on fibr, rather than fibr84. Obliqued and + bold versions of the font are still exclusively METAFONT. + They will continue to be invoked as fibo84[89]? and fibb84[89]? + until I make up Type1 versions of them (if I ever do). + +3. fibr.vf, which serves to provide a reference into a dvips map + file. The raw TFM for this VF file is fibr84.tfm, which has the + interesting effect of making METAFONT generated PK files a + fail-safe alternative when the dvips map lookup fails. + The checksums for fibr.tfm fibr84.tfm and fibr.vf are identical. + This is arbitrary, since fibr.vf has integer escapement values + rounded from the METAFONT values in the tfm files. + +4. config.iby and iby.map. The iby.map file shows how to associate + fibr84 with IbycusHTG-Regular. + fibr84 IbycusHTG-Regular <IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa + or + fibr84 IbycusHTG-Regular <fibr.pfa + This line can be copied into psfonts.map for general use. + +5. IbycusHTG-Regular.afm and IbycusHTG.enc. These are provided for + information only. The AFM file contains only the character info + and the pair-kerning data. There is no point in going further + since the Adobe convention for AFM is incapable of specifying the + ligature sequences needed for ibycus4. The encoding file could + supply both ligatures and pair-kerns, but to what purpose? + +6. Various TeX input files rewritten to use the fibr invocation in + place of the fibr84 invocation. (This is the only change that + users will need to make, other than installing the above files in + the TEXMF directory tree). + +IbycusHTG-Regular is licensed without charge for use in the creation of +documents in all media, in accordance with the included copyright +notice. Users are welcome and indeed encouraged to adapt the font +to other typesetting systems. Note that iota subscript is applied to +the affected vowel as a following zero-width character kerned +drastically to the left. (Other well-known Polytonic Greek fonts +do the same thing. This trick saves many, many glyph spaces for more +constructive use.) + + mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.

One smallish remark ahead: Maybe this problem isn't such a +problem at all, just a typical, foolish newbie-question, maybe it has +been around on this mailing list a couple of times already, but perhaps +even you TeX-gurus remember the time when you were new to TeX, so, could +you please reply nevertheless? ThanX ;-) +OK, here we go: I'm trying to format text in three columns (in +landscape, but that's the smallest problem) and to put in a picture at a +fixed position. Now I want my text to float around that picture, which +means that the first column has to be slimmed down in its middle, the +middle column has to be interrupted and the right column has to be +indented. Perhaps this explanation isn't too clear, so I'll try to +include a rough ASCII-draft ('T' representing text, 'P' representing +picture) of how it should look like: + +TTT TTT TTT +TTPPPPPPPTT +TTPPPPPPPTT +TTT TTT TTT + +First, I considered using \parshape, but besides that I couldn't +persuade it to leave some lines blank (in the middle column), the +alignment of the right- resp. left-indented columns was awful, some +words even sticked out into the picture. So I dropped that idea (and +also dropped multicol, which I was using, too) and began fiddling around +with the \output-routine. My idea was to make TeX believe it was writing +to a set of relatively small pages and thus letting it perform +pagebreaks according to this imagination, then save those small pages to +boxes and finally putting them together to a real page. The individual +sub-pages would have been: + ++---+---+---+ +|TTT|TTT|TTT| ++---+---+---+ ++--+ +--+ +|TT| |TT| +|TT| |TT| ++--+ +--+ ++---+---+---+ +|TTT|TTT|TTT| ++---+---+---+ + +Now you all surely have begun to feel pity with me (I hope :-) because +you already know what pitfall I dropped into. Well, I _knew_ that I +couldn't just change the pagesize inside the output routine and hope it +would fit. I had read in the TeXbook that, to make these changes take +effect, I had to unpack \box255 and put it back onto the vertical list. +I also found a macro there, which claimed to do the box-unpacking, but I +failed to make it work :-( +Now, do you think I'm heading in a completely wrong direction? Is there +any simpler solution? Please tell me if you know one! But if there +isn't, would anybody be so kind to give me at least a sketch of an +\output-macro, that, after setting the pagesize, does unpacking and +pushing back?
