[texhax] LaTeX legal help

[Alojzy Leszcz]

Got it - thanks guys. So I guess that all should be fine in my case, but
for peace of mind I'll review the licences of the packages I use. Many
thanks for the explanation.

Also, I understand that I don't need to put any references to licence in my
book itself (unless the agreement states clearly otherwise).

Regards,
Alojzy
