A bit of a diversion here, but two questions about the plethora of PDF docs:<br><br>* Where are the TeX sources of all these manuals kept?<br>* What are the licenses on all these various things?  In particular the Pragma documents.  Would I be *allowed*, if I so wanted, to embark on a collated version of all of this -- i.e., are derivative works allowed?<br>

want to try Context, but I&#39;ve been putting it off for years because<br>
