While I think I understand the issues around GPLv2 versus GPLv3 for
XEmacs core, the corresponding issues with the packages are not so
clear to me. We have 3 packages in CVS right now that carry GPLv3
licenses: viper, ediff, and verilog-mode. Is that okay?
According to the FSF copyright boffins, it's not ok. There was a
discussion here last year some time concerning the Tramp package.
Someone, I think the Tramp maintainer, contacted the FSF about it and
the answer was basically: if Tramp is GPLv3 then XEmacs has to be GPLv3
too.
Personally, I think that's nuts, but what can you do...
