Цитата из FAQ по LaTeX.
------
Knuth has declared that he will do no further development of TeX; he will
continue to fix any bugs that are reported to him (though bugs are rare). This
decision was made soon after TeX version 3.0 was released; at each bug-fix
release the version number acquires one more digit, so that it tends to the
limit pi (at the time of writing, Knuth's latest release is version 3.14159).
Knuth wants TeX to be frozen at version pi when he dies; thereafter, no further
changes may be made to Knuth's source. (A similar rule is applied to Metafont;
its version number tends to the limit e, and currently stands at 2.718.)

И что? Никто не запрещает развивать ТеХ далее, но называть его другим
именем.

По крайней мере, с чувством юмора у него всё в порядке. =)

Cмотри подчеркнутое. Чего развивать, если исходники нельзя будет трогать?

Ох, как люди не любят смотреть в лицензии и пользуются чьими-то
недомолвками... Итак, идем в исходники Web2C:
texk/web2c/tex.web:
% This program is copyright (C) 1982 by D. E. Knuth; all rights are reserved.
% Copying of this file is authorized only if (1) you are D. E. Knuth, or if
% (2) you make absolutely no changes to your copy. (The WEB system provides
% for alterations via an auxiliary file; the master file should stay intact.)
% See Appendix H of the WEB manual for hints on how to install this program.
% And see Appendix A of the TRIP manual for details about how to validate it.
То есть, я могу распространять ТеХ, не внося изменений в tex.web, однако
могу модифицировать его через вспомогательный файл. В web2c это сделано
через texk/web2c/tex.ch, в котором говорится:
% Copying of this file is authorized only if either
% (1) you make absolutely no changes to your copy, including name, or
% (2) if you do make changes, you name it to something other than
% "mltex.ch", "char_sub.ch", or "charsub.ch".
То есть, я могу внести изменения и распространять их в файле, имя которого
отличается от tex.ch, mltex.ch, char_sub.ch или charsub.ch.
В частности, одной из таких модификаций является e-TeX, другой -- PDFTex.

Исходники трогать нельзя. А вот патчи прикладывать можно
(средствами WEB).
