If you require this condition only, the best thing you can do is
make a modified version of GPL as Affero GPL did
(http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html). You may get approval from
FSF (contact RMS rms@...)

See there are lots of problems with LaTeX Project Public License
Thats why FSF says "Please do not use this license for any other project."
(I started studying this license)

I think you didn't made any official announcement yet,
so please study in detail about licenses then decide which one to use.

See LPPL says :
"If for any part of your program you want or need to use *distribution*
conditions that differ from those in this license, then do not refer to this
license anywhere in your program but instead distribute your program under a
different license."


After studying the licensing terms, I will write in details.
But I couldn't understant many of the sentenses.
Mahesh, can you help me for this.


With thanks and regards,
