Comment 43 for bug 27858

Hi Norbert, hi all,

Most of the work on tetex-doc-nonfree was done before the GR on GFDL. At
that time, it seemed pretty clear that any GFDL licensed document would
have to go to non-free. Most of the discussion is in #345604. After the
unexpected outcome of the GR, I am not sure if we should jump to
conclusions already and move the files back.

Here we have the additional problem that the PDF uses non-free fonts.

teTeX does contain the sources:

$ dlocate pdftex-t.tex
tetex-doc: /usr/share/doc/texmf/pdftex/manual/pdftex-t.tex.gz
