-MAINTAINERSHIP
-
-thailatex was originally created by Surapan Meknavin in 1999, as a project
-under the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC).
-Granted by its license terms, it has been later imported to a public CVS and
-maintained by Thai Linux Working Group (TLWG) community since version 0.2
-in 2000.
-
-RELICENSING
-
-Before version 0.4.0, thailatex was released under non-commercial license:

-The particular term has been found to break Debian Free Software Guidelines
-(DFSG), as well as Open Source Definitions, by limiting the users' rights
-to use the software in commercial cases:
-
- 2. No charge more than random data distribution cost is associated with
- the redistributions.
-
-Therefore, a proposed idea is to relicense it to The LaTeX Project Public
-License (LPPL), to conform to DFSG and OSD, as well as to be compatible to
-other parts of Babel package, the target of the project.
-
-Although most of its maintainership over 6 years is done by TLWG members,
-that is done under the license terms granted by NECTEC, the copyright holder.
-
-Hence, the original author and copyright holder have been contacted for a
-grant to relicense it to The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL).

-The original author's response is positive:

- Dear Thep,
-
- Assuming that LPPL does not conflict with DFSG, I agree that the thailatex
- package should be licensed under LPPL. I don't think there should be any
- problem to remove the term you mentioned to make it free, as no one involved
- in the package wants to make any money out of this since the beginning and
- the term may be just there because we didn't aware of it. However, because
- NECTEC is the entity who is taking care of thailatex package K. Kamthorn may
- be the right person to help realize this.
-
- Best,
- Surapan

- Dear Theppitak
-
- Subject: Thai LaTeX Relicensing
-
- The thailatex package owned by NECTEC is currently distributed under
- non-commercial license, which is found to break open source definitions.
- To make it true open source according to NECTEC's original intention,
- and to be compatible with upstream source into which it is aimed to
- merge, NECTEC agrees to change the license terms to the LaTeX Project
- Public License (LPPL), and hereby assigns Mr. Theppitak Karoonboonyanan
- from Thai Linux Working Group (TLWG) to proceed the relicensing, and to
- maintain the project as the Current Maintainer, as specified in the
- license.

- Dr.Pansak Siriruchatapong

- Director of National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC)
-

-
-Therefore, thailatex is licensed under the LaTeX Project Public License
-(LPPL) since version 0.4.0.
