Re: [V] New package: ASN1

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. Actually distributing the software encourages people to use it, not reimplement it. The way to encourage reimplementation is with a task list which gives descriptions of the jobs to be done, and mentions the names of programs to be replaced for the sake of people who already know them. If a person says he is seriously interested in doing a certain job, you would tell him where to find the program to be replaced, in case that's useful for him.
