That's not in the spirit of trying to conform.
IANAL either, but since we're having fun, let me expose my feelings:
the "place" is defined by the DNS. "xemacs.org", is our case, has
recognition. Everything under that, whatever the actual physical
implementation is, is considered part of the XEmacs (lack of-)
organization. OTOH, ftp, http, cvs (pserver), svn, etc are mediums.
When f.i. you grab a tar file from xemacs.org you tend to give the
same level of trust to it no matter whether you got it from ftp or
http.
As for the AUCTeX problem, legalities aside, it looks like we're
distributing it against the wishes of (one of|the) main maintainer.
Shouldn't we just stop?
OG.
