    As far as I can tell the only restriction on TeX is "If this program is changed, the resulting system should not be called TeX". You cant get much more opensourced than that.

    I've tracked down a more informative article, published in a reputable journal.

    "Universality of rare fluctuations in turbulance and critical phenomena" S.T. Bramwell, P.C.W. Holdsworth and J.-F. Pinton, Nature 396, 552 (1998)

    Now why didn't the FT just give a reference, and save us all some time?
