They'll take your code as long as (a) you assign the code to them and
(b) if there's any annoying changes that need to be made due to
incompatibilities or rms design changes, you do the work.
I’ve already assigned my Emacs code to them, and am prepared to do the work.
I’ll be interested to see how they react.

It probably is. I didn't say you'd have to work *hard* at it! But
note that the coding cookies in .elcs are different from those in
sources.
In what way?
