﻿Matthias Bilger,

Hopefully I've found the correct Matthias Bilger, if not, I
apologize in advance.

I'm looking for the Matthias Bilger who is the author of
programs involving or related to TeXLive.

Specifically:

- authoraftertitle

This program is marked as being in the Public Domain, which
is a tricky legal concept in many parts of the world. We are
in the process of auditing all of the code in TeXLive 2010
for Parabola GNU/Linux (a popular Linux distribution) to
ensure that we have legal permission to use everything
within it, and that everything is under a Free Software
License.

Since the ability of a copyright holder to abandon their
copyright on a work and place it into the Public Domain is
only legally possible in certain jurisdictions, there are a
few things you can do to help us out here.

1) If you just want anyone, anywhere, to have the ability to do whatever
they would like with these software works, then please
consider giving permission for them to be used under the
Creative Commons Zero license.  This license is structured
to act as a practical Public Domain declaration wherever
that is permitted by law, and an extremely permissive
license everywhere else.

An overview of the CC-0 license is here:
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

The actual CC-0 legal text is here:
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode

If you choose to exercise this option, please reply to this
email with the following:

* A statement affirming that you are the author and copyright holder of
the aforementioned software works.
* A statement that you give permission for these works to be distributed
under the terms of the Creative Commons 0 license, as described here:
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

We will archive that email in the public audit history (with your email
address obscured, if you wish).

2) If you do not wish to relicense these works under CC-0, consider
licensing them under the LaTeX Project Public License. This
is a Free Software license, and much of the code in TeXLive
2010 uses it.

Details on the current version of the LPPL are available
here: http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/

If you choose to exercise this option, please reply to this
email with the following:

* A statement affirming that you are the author and copyright holder of
the aforementioned software works.
* As desribed on the LPPL side, please provide an explicit copyright
notice including your name and the year that each work was
authored and/or last substantially modified. Include also a
statement that the distribution and/or modification of that
component is constrained by the conditions in this
license. A dummy example is copied below:

 %% pig.dtx
 %% Copyright 2005 M. Y. Name
 %
 % This work may be distributed and/or modified under the
 % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3
 % of this license or (at your option) any later version.
 % The latest version of this license is in
 %   http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
 % and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
 % version 2005/12/01 or later.

*****

Please note: Individuals in most of Europe (with the notable exception of
the UK) can almost NEVER fully abandon their copyright, thus any public
domain declarations from those individuals are invalid, and we are left
with no license on that work. This means that we will have no permission
to use, modify, or distribute it.

Specifically, this is known to be true for France, Germany, and Poland.
If you are a citizen of one of these countries (or in Europe), or were
located in one of these countries when you created this work, please
consider using one of the previously described license options.

Thanks in advance! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
