The individual packages may bear additional copyright notices which

WARRANTY

There is no warranty for LaTeX2e, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.  Except when otherwise stated in writing, the LaTeX3
project provides the program `as is' without warranty of any kind,
either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose.  The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the
program is with you.  Should the program prove defective, you assume
the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing
will the LaTeX3 project, or any of the individual authors named above,
be liable to you for damages, including any general, special,
incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or
inability to use the program (including but not limited to loss of
data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or
third parties or a failure of the program to operate with any other
programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.

DISTRIBUTION
  
You are NOT ALLOWED to take money for the distribution or use of
these files except for a nominal charge for copying, etc.

Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files
listed in manifest file are distributed including this copyright file.

If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain!

However, if these files are distributed by established suppliers as
part of a complete TeX distribution, and the structure of the
distribution would make it difficult to distribute the whole set of
files, *those parties* are allowed to distribute only some of the
files provided that it is made clear that the user will get a
complete distribution-set upon request to that supplier (not us).

Note that this permission is not granted to the end user.

The generation of changed versions of the files included in the
LaTeX2e system is allowed under the following restrictions:

 * It is allowed only if the copyright notice in the file does not
   forbid it.

 * You rename the file before you make any changes to it.  

 * You acknowledge the origin of the original version in the file and
   keep the information that it (or a changed version) has to be
   distributed under the restrictions mentioned in this file.

 * You change the ERROR REPORT address so that we don't get error
   reports for files *not* maintained by us.

 * You provide the user with information how to obtain the original
   package or, even better, distribute it with your files.

 * You make sure that the changed versions contain a notice that
   prevents others to take money for distribution or use of your
   files, i.e. they have to be distributed under the restrictions
   mentioned in this file.

 * You inform us that you created a changed version of the files.
   This is only necessary if you want to distribute it to others.

These restrictions do *not* apply to the LaTeX configuration files
ending with .cfg.
