Subject: using mag and "myway"
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:02:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <30c383e70804151302g444135d9q59e6caaac311e49e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am worried because I would like to use mag-01 to write a document and
then upload it to the arxiv.org. Of course, I have a title for the document and
I would like to use it instead of having "My Way" written in the front page
(which nobody would understand)
I see that
-------------------------
%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
%C details.
-------------------------
I found this file on the net. at
www.tug.org/teTeX/tetex-texmfdist/doc/context/base/mreadme.pdf
I see that it is (basically?) GPL.
Ok... now, in mag-01 I read that:
% This style is used for producing explanationary documents.
% Don't misuse it for other purposes, since it may confuse
% users. Don't change the title either, since it provides a
% way to categorize documents. Numbers are disabled in
% instances produced outside PRAGMA ADE.
"Don't change the title either"
?!?!
and
% These are reserved for PRAGMA-ADE, don't use them yourself!
% \setvariables[magazine][main=Tricky]
% \setvariables[magazine][main=Update]
% \setvariables[magazine][main=HOWTO]
% \setvariables[magazine][main=This Way] % preludes to a/the manual
% \setvariables[magazine][main=A Better Way] % dirty versus clean
% \setvariables[magazine][main=No Way] % how users should not do
% it
% \setvariables[magazine][main=Your Way] % how users do it
% \setvariables[magazine][main=My Way] % how users do it
% \setvariables[magazine][main=Our Way] % how we do things at
% pragma
% \setvariables[magazine][main=Their Way] % how to do latex things
% in context
What does this mean? Am I free to use the style but forced to write
"My Way" on the top of
it? Cannot I modify mag-01.tex, rename it to something which do not
lead to confusion (say "JourDiffTitle.tex") and -of course leaving the
comments there- use it as I want?
Are the example tex files under the gpl or cannot one modify them?
I am asking to avoid posterior problems.
Thanks,
Pau
