The most important part is: % Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of % this document provided that the copyright notice and this % permission notice are preserved on all copies. % Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of % this document under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided % that the entire resulting derived work is given a different name % and distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to % this one. % Please send comments, suggestions, etc. to % levy <at> math.berkeley.edu . % This directory contains the following files: cweb.el So, either we distribute that file as cwebm.el (or any other name) and have a mark in the header, that this is an replacement for cweb.el or we try to contact Silvio Levy.
