The <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PublishPDF">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PublishPDF</a> library has been
just under 150000 bytes for about a year and each release I look for
things to take out, to compensate for additions. The latest version
is 149999 bytes and I am running out of things to remove.<br>
<br>
Could the limit be increased to 155000 bytes?<br>
<br>
Alternatively, the 2 biggest files are the GPL and the LGPL text
files. Is it OK to omit the GPL text file, since people have already
received a copy when they downloaded pmwiki?<br>
<br>
On <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html</a> it states:<br>
<blockquote>You should also include a copy of the license itself
somewhere in the distribution of your program. All programs,
whether they are released under the GPL or LGPL, should include
the text version of the GPL. In GNU programs the license is
usually in a file called COPYING.<br>
<br>
If you are releasing your program under the LGPL, you should also
include the text version of the LGPL, usually in a file called
COPYING.LESSER. Please note that, since the LGPL is a set of
additional permissions on top of the GPL, it's important to
include both licenses so users have all the materials they need to
understand their rights.<br>
</blockquote>
This says "should" rather than "must", so I think it would be OK to
remove the GPL file, but I'd like another opinion.<br>
