Free software is pointless if it is not distributed and modified by others. I call that "cooperation". And respect != submit. > Hint, it had nothing to do with copyright assignments. I don't know what "it" you think you're talking about; what I'm talking about is the fact that Richard has repeatedly stated that the fact that XEmacs is free software licensed under the GPL is insufficient for including XEmacs code in Emacs. The necessary ingredient is legal papers (typically, but not always, an assignment) from the author of each piece of code large enough to fall under copyright. _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
