I'm not sure, but afaik, they don't (that's why there was the whole GFDL issue a while ago). > Anyway, it isn't my problem, it's Debian's problem.

Okay, but as it stands, there is not even the right to distribute. If I buy a copy of emacs and then give a copy to my friend, you could sue me over the manpages, saying that I should have removed them before making the copy. Also, you've previously stated that you think that copyright should be limited to 10 years. You wrote the manpages more than 10 years ago, so by your standard, they should be free now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
