+   ,----
+   | My work on developing TEX, METAFONT, and Computer
+   | Modern has come to an end. I willmake no further
+   | changes except to correct extremely serious bugs.
+   | 
+   | I have put these systems into the public domain so that
+   | people everywhere can use the ideas freely if they wish.
+   | 
+   | [...]
+   | As stated on the copyright pages of Volumes B, D, and
+   | E, anybody can make use of my programs in whatever
+   | way they wish, as long as they do not use the names
+   | TEX, METAFONT, or Computer Modern. In particular,
+   | any person or group who wants to produce a program
+   | superior to mine is free to do so. However, nobody is
+   | allowed to call a system TEXor METAFONT unless that
+   | system conforms 100% to my own programs, as I have
+   | specified in the manuals for the TRIP and TRAP tests.
+   | And nobody is allowed to use the names of the Computer
+   | Modern fonts in Volume E for any fonts that do not
+   | produce identical tfm files. This prohibition applies to
+   | all people or machines, whether appointed by TUG or
+   | by any other organization. I do not intend to delegate the
+   | responsibility formaintainance of TEX, METAFONT, or
+   | Computer Modern to anybody else, ever.
