Dear Benedikt, et al,

Enclosed is a copy of a new license file that has been added to the
following distributions on the AMS ftp site:

    amscls2.zip
    amsfonts.zip
    amsmath2.zip
    amsrefs-ctan.zip
    amsrefs-tds.zip

These updated zip files should show up on CTAN shortly.

Thank you for your patience with my delays in distributing this.

Cheers,
David.

===========================================================================
The AMS is in the process of restating and updating the licenses on
all components of the AMS-LaTeX and AMSFonts distributions in order to
bring their licenses into line with current standards of "free"
software licenses.  Since it will take some time to update all
individual files, we're distributing this notice now to retroactively
restate the license on currently-distributed files.

In 2009 the font components -- e.g., AFM (.afm), MetaFont (.mf), TeX
font metric (.tfm), and Type 1 (.pfb) files -- of version 3 of the
AMSfonts package were released under the SIL Open Font License.  Any
file released under the SIL OFL continues to be covered by that
license.

As of May 1, 2010, the following license supersedes any license found
inside any LaTeX macro files -- and associated documentation and
source files -- currently being distributed by the AMS:

    This work may be distributed and/or modified under the
    conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c
    of this license or (at your option) any later version.
    The latest version of this license is in
      http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
    and version 1.3c or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
    version 2005/12/01 or later.

    This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'.

    The Current Maintainer of this work is the American Mathematical
    Society.

Files covered by this notice include -- but are not necessarily
limited to -- the following, along with any associated documentation
files (README files, templates, examples, etc.).
