To put the question back to you. What if Microsoft were to view
XEmacs as a spec and, without using any GPLed code, implement a fully
compatible, fully functional 95/98/NT implementation. How would we be
hurt? By having the emacs user community grow too large?!
We don't have enought resources to do development as it is let alone
provide detailed support.
