+% comment : Because this manual is distributed with TeX distributions it comes with a rather
+% liberal license. We try to adapt these documents to upgrades in the (sub)systems
+% that they describe. Using parts of the content otherwise can therefore conflict
+% with existing functionality and we cannot be held responsible for that. Many of
+% the manuals contain characteristic graphics and personal notes or examples that
+% make no sense when used out-of-context.
