> Subject: TeXLive 2003
> Date: 01 Oct 2003 09:30:22 +0530
>
> TUGIndia are happy to announce that TeXLive 2003 has been released
> (stable final release) and we have the iso images of demo, install and
> live versions of the CD/DVD.
>
> Install version is what a normal user would need. Live version is
> ready-to-run TeX system for 12 operating systems in a DVD without
> installing unto your harddisk and demo is a scaled down live version
> for Linux, Win32 and Mac OSX alone.
>
> All the bzipped ISO images at:
>
> http://sarovar.org/projects/texlive
>
> PDF and JPG files of all the CD/DVD labels and covers are also
> available here.
>
> You might find details about TeXLive at:
>
> http://texlive.sarovar.org
>
> Be warned that bzipped images of install and demo CD's are roughly 270
> MB and 571 MB respectively. Compressed DVD image is 516 MB. The page
> might show you the filesize as single digit bytes, that's because it
> is a symlink from the mirror folder. TeXLive is an ongoing project at
> TUG, so we would sync the newest stable releases always.
>
> TUGIndia would make available TeXLive 2003 collection (3 CD set
> released by TUG), beautifully packaged in a nicely printed CD cover.
> Looks like a collectors item. We have fixed the price at Rs. 1,000
> per set including forwarding and shipping costs.
>
> We would dispatch CD's to the individual/institutions who have already
> paid the cost (of Rs. 500 which was the cost of previous release of
> TeXLive) and waiting for TeXLive's release without any burden of extra
> cost. This is in recognition of their patience and interest in
> TeXLive.
>
> People who are fortunate to have a fat bandwidth might grab the images
> from sarovar.org. They are free to make copies and distribute, but
> respect the licences of the packages. Recently, Springer-Verlag copied
> TeXLive 7 CD and distributed along with one of their LaTeX books with
> explicit instruction on the CD that "contents of the CD should not be
> copied or distributed" which is a clear violation of the licences of
> thousands of packages in the CD. By doing such a thing, one invites
> the wrath of TUG, FSF and obviously runs the risk of litigation.
>
> Compilation of the TeXLive CD is the result of the hard work of
> hundreds of developers' for several months apart from the terrific
> work of several thousand contributors who wrote all the software
> solely for the benefit of the user community. By purchasing the
> TeXLive, the cost of which is only that of the media and shipping, you
> promote a great movement that stands for software freedom.
