I won't insist on adding it. If xemacs.org doesn't want to distribute
non-GPL elisp code I think a "non-free" XEmacs package repository
could be useful, similar to non-free Debian packages.
Such a repository may encourage people to re-implement the software
under GPL, which would be what I'd like to see eventually.
If we really want it, I suggest that someone get in touch with
France
Télécom and request permission to distribute under GNU GPL. I believe
the real legal differences are technical and small; they might be
willing to do so. Or, if we should work through a French person, I
have an acquaintance who might be willing to help, and I'd be willing
to contact him.
I tried to mail them but the mail address in the package bounces.
If someone else would like to try, that would be very useful.
