Having gotten tired of seeing tex files as the only documentation
of various public domain packages I've ftp'd, I was finally going
to break down and get a copy of some public domain TeX package.
Unfortunately, I don't even know if such a thing exists, and wherever
I go to do anonymous ftp (including ymir), I can't figure out what
these things they call "sources" really are.  The latest example being
the "source" on ymir, which I see absolutely NO way of understanding how
to apply.

What is my problem?  Is there any such thing as public domain TeX?
Will I tear all my hair out before I get a reply?

Any help answering these questions would be greatly appreciated.
