TeX is free software.  You can distribute a modified version but
you must do so as a change file.  It is inconvenient, but it qualifies
as free software.

If TexiWeb Jr. has the same sort of license, then it is free too.  But
this condition is a pain in the neck, so the license ought to be
changed.

Who developed TexiWeb Jr?  I never heard of it before.
Can you show me its license?

What is jrweave?  What does it do?  What is its source license?
