First of all if you are reading this anyway I want to ask you
something.
Do you (or the FSF) confirm the receipt of legal papers? I have signed
some of these for my contributions to Gnus but I have never heard
about them again. I would like also to do so for all my Emacs related
contributions but before I do I want to be sure they are not lost
somewhere.
Back to our regular disussion:
As a consequence, the possibilities of real two-way cooperation on
source code are very limited. I think that's a shame, since I like
the code in XEmacs that I have seen.
Maybe it would be a good start to cooperate more consistently on the
base technical issues (I am thinking about byte-code-allocations and
changes to core elisp functions). I have seen you and Steve do this a
few times already and I would like very much for this to be the norm.

P.S. I presume these legal opinions you got applied to the US? Do know
of any one having sought legal advice over both the strength of the
GPL and legal papers necessity in Europe?
