[1] Copyright assignment papers or not, I don't know of anyone
"in
the XEmacs camp" who has any desire whatsoever to endanger the GPL
status of XEmacs. As far as I'm concerned un-GPLing XEmacs would
have to occur over my dead body.
What he means is: if Microsoft were to enhance XEmacs and not give out
the source, it would be very hard for any of us to sue them because of
the copyright being spread over many different persons and companies.
Not that I endorse his disgusting attitude; I'd just like to clarify
his meaning.

What he means is: if Microsoft were to enhance XEmacs and not give out
the source,
As a practical matter this would increase the number of emacs users
and not hurt the free software movement in the slightest.
Several Common Lisp venders used (or so it is alleged) parts of the
Public Domain CMU Common Lisp implementation in their proprietary,
source-not-available systems without having any negative impact on
CMUCL, which has significantly outlived at least one of those vendors.
it would be very hard for any of us to sue them because of the
copyright being spread over many different persons and companies.
This part would be true regardless of any stack of papers RMS' lawyers
may hold.
