 I think it sounds odd to preface most instances of "Guided
Tour" with "Phil
 Sung's". I've attached a patch that removes some of them. :) 
OK.  Will be applied before release.

 That's perfectly fine. I think as long as it is clear that the
 present versions may be used under the MIT/X11 license (and
 therefore can be integrated into the Texinfo manuals), and future
 improvements are GPL|GFDL only, there should be little
 ambiguity. Perhaps that last caveat is not necessary. 
My plan is that the X11-licensed version will be available only by cvs
checkout -r 1.1.1.1.  Later versions will be imported on top of it.
Those in the know can grab it, those who don't know, don't need to.
The ChangeLog caveat about asking you will not go anywhere else, nor
need to.

...
 For what it's worth, the HTML version has been picked up by
gnu.org:
 <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/> 
I'll definitely insert a reference to that in guided-tour-about.  Do
you want the stuff.mit.edu URL referenced there?  (Do those URLs ever
disappear, or are they expected to be permanent?)  If so, which should
be labelled as "canonical"?

...
 Again, thanks for packaging all this up. 
I needed the practice. :-)

Thank *you* for creating it.  You're welcome to your blushes, but it's
a wonderful introduction, and I've very glad it's available to the new
users.
