 To put the question back to you.  What if Microsoft were to view
 XEmacs as a spec and, without using any GPLed code, implement a fully
 compatible, fully functional 95/98/NT implementation.  How would we be 
 hurt?  By having the emacs user community grow too large?! 
We don't have enought resources to do development as it is let alone
provide detailed support.
