I find it annoying that there are two versions of essentially the

required for code that nobody claims ownership to.
For what it's worth, Stallman says he needs them to be able to defend
the GPL in court. That argument comes from the now-legendary legal
advice that the FSF allegedly received a long time ago and that
created the basis for the whole assignment mess.
There are people who dispute the validity of the claim ("advice"), but
the point is moot, as none of it has been tested in a court of law.
It just makes so much sense to me to have one emacs. Since the X
version is more modern etc etc, it should be the obvious choice.
Eh, if only it were that simple! FSF's Emacs is also X-aware.
If this is a vaguely democratic process, my vote goes with one
Xemacs. Keep up the good work. You guys are doing a fantastic job.
Thanks.
