As far as I can tell:

-- tetex-src is 100% in TeXLive
-- tetex-texmf is mostly a subset of TeXLive but I suspect the latter to=20
be much bigger (I may be wrong; haven't downloaded or used ever);
-- things like texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf are not in TeX Live and do=20
not seem to have an equivalent; documentation for TeXLive looks much more=
=20
generic (which is quite understandable).

Can someone be a bit more precise?

One of things I appreciated in tetex was the texmf tree not being complete=
=20
but a being a very reasonable default.
