Dear authors of the CS PS fonts!

You are listed in license.eng from the cstex package as authors of the
CSfonts. While analyzing the license/source situation of teTeX and TeX
live for Debian, we found that the following files:
	ntimes.sty
 	nhelvet.sty
	cspsfont.{il2,tex,xl2}
contain the follwoing statement:
-----------------
%% The original source files were:
%% 
%% cspsfont.doc  (with options: `fonts,IL2')
%% 
%% IMPORTANT NOTICE:
%% 
%% For the copyright see the source file.
%% 
%% You are *not* allowed to modify this file.
%% 
%% You are *not* allowed to distribute this file.
%% For distribution of the original source see
%% the terms for copying and modification in the file  cspsfont.doc.
---------------

Unfortunately file cspsfont.doc is nowhere to be found, and the license
statement given in these files don't allow distribution/modification, so
they wouldhave to be removed from TeX live and teTeX (at least for
Debian).

Could you please clarify this situation for us, and preferably/if
possible also provide the original cspsfont.doc file?

Thanks a lot from the (Debian) teTeX and (Debian) TeX live people

Dalarymples are the things you pay extra for on pieces of hand-made
craftwork - the rough edges, the paint smudges and the holes in the
glazing.
