Still I do not think that this is a serious (RC) bug: If we like, we can just take the source file which is under the LPPL, modify it following the required procedures and while doing that change the copying statement in the generated file. We do *not* like to fork that way, but it would be possible, therefore I set the severity to important only, and do the same for the other bug you (Manuel) reported. > 2. Docstrip's default text assumes something about the licenses, This is what Norbert and I assumed, knowing the very same text from many generated files. But it turned out that it is actually not true. I guess that it once used to be true, and that is where the habit comes from to put such a text in the file. Actually it might have been true with older, non-DFSG-free versions of the LPPL.
