The "Acrobat(r) Plug-ins software development kit license" applies here. I tried to get more info about this license. Without success. It seems that you have to become an ASN developer (i.e., pay $195) before you can download the pdfdde sources. To make it short: am I allowed to - fetch the pdfdde sources (from the TL source depot) - compile and distribute pdfdde.exe? The README in TeX/texk/contrib doesn't tell. Thanks, Christian
