[Savannah-register-public] [task #5859] Submission of PosrScript Generator

[Diedrich Vorberg]

Follow-up Comment #5, task #5859 (project administration):

Hi,

Your last e-Mail leaves me with a question...

About the font_utils.ps procset: I don't want to put the procsets under a
license, because they will be included in PostScript code generated by psg.
Putting them under GPL would mean that any document created with psg would
need to be under GPL (PostScript documents are programs). This is
unacceptable for most if not all users. I believe this is why the GNU (!!)
a2ps team has omited licensing information from the a2ps generated PS file.
How do I go about this? 

Abouit eps.ps: The PostScript Language Manual states that I'm not allowed to
reproduce any of its content and makes no exceptions for the examples. Asking
Adobe about the rights is pointless: They will give a crap about my request
and not even reply. I mean, it's about an example in a programming book.
These examples are ment to be used, aren't they? So I would need to re-write
the procedure and put it under my own copyright and in the public domain. Yet
there are a limited number of ways to do the job the code is supposed to do.
How far do I have to modify this thing to legitametly claim copyrights? 

Regards 
Diedrich
