Copyright of LaTex Templates? [duplicate]

Copyright of LaTex Templates? [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
Is a PDF output from a LaTeX document, a "derived work" from the LPPL
standard packages? [closed] 2 answers
I have a LaTeX template produced by Elsevier,
"elsarticle-template-3-num.tex", which I have used to typeset a document.
I want to distribute the compiled .pdf that I have typeset. Does the
copyright of the template place any restrictions on my distribution of the
compiled .pdf? Or does Elsevier have any say regarding the distribution of
my typeset document?
To be explicit, here is the copyright statement in the header of the
template:
%% This is file `elsarticle-template-3-num.tex',
%%
%% Copyright 2009 Elsevier Ltd
%%
%% This file is part of the 'Elsarticle Bundle'.

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but thought
that the TeX community might have some experience or could point me to a
resource/documentation that could answer the question.
