Re: BSD-like licensed files in XEmacs Packages?

Looking further at the go-lang license it looks very much like the
Modified BSD license which is compatible with GNU GPL. As such it
ought to be possible to use together with GPLed code, combine in a
program, and the whole will be under the GPL.
How to do this in practice is another thing. I hope adding the
go-lang-mode to prog-modes, with the Modified BSD license text in the
header will suffice.
On the other, since the go-lang mode is supposed to be used by Emacs,
maybe the go team might consider releasing it under the GPLv3 or
later. I'll check.
