And "if ConTeXt is not free software by the license in mreadme.pdf, the following terms replace the licence for ConTeXt given in mreadme.pdf:" "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.". This is the content of Thomas Esser's docs/context/base/LICENSE.teTeX - and ,readme.pdf allows TeX distributions to do such a change. Regards, Tobias
