35.1   Copyright Notice

This distribution [of L^AT_EX macros] is Copyright 1993 1994 1995 1996 The L^AT_EX3 Project and the individual authors: Leslie Lamport, Johannes Braams, David Carlisle, Alan Jeffrey, Frank Mittelbach, Chris Rowley, Rainer Schoepf.

TRUET_EX provides the genuine L^AT_EX, direct from the authors' distribution, free of any modifications or incompatibilities. The L^AT_EX authors express a valid concern that their work not be published in a modified form, unless the modified files are given new names. This prevents the proliferation of non-standard versions that might be confused with the genuine L^AT_EX autograph. Should you wish to modify any of the L^AT_EX distribution files, you must take care to observe the authors' restrictions on doing so.

TRUET_EX does not provide every file for every package and tool available with L^AT_EX, which now totals over 100 megabytes. If you wish to complete the partial distribution provided with TRUET_EX, you can copy it from the CTAN FTP archive described above, or if you are unable to do so, request a copy of the current full L^AT_EX distribution from us.
