"You may distribute the content of the program package only in unmodified form" is misleading and you should not have it You should have instead of it the following copyright: "You may distribute the content of the program package only if one of the following conditions happens 1)You do not modify the package and you do not use other webpages, newspaper, CDs, print and other media. 2)You get permission of all the relevant authors. The relevant authors are: 1)Martin Blume in case that arena is part of the package that you release. 2)Rudolf Huber in case that Sos is part of the package that you release. 3)... "
