It seems that it was the intention of Lucid to use v1 or later
(excepting the two files mentioned previously); so this is the license
we have used when adding notices to code that did not have notices
originally. Although we have the legal right to switch to v2 or later,
rms prefers that we do not do so.


msdos/is_exec.c, sigaction.c - these files are copyright DJ Delorie.
Leave the copyrights alone. Leave the Eli Zaretskii copyright in
is_exec.c alone. See the msdos/README file for the legal history of

  relevant assignment is under "hp9k800" in copyright.list. File was
  written by John V. Morris at HP, and disclaimed by the author and
  HP. So this file is public domain.

   wish to revisit later in more detail

REMOVED etc/gnu.xpm, nt/icons/emacs21.ico, nt/icons/sink.ico
  - Restore if find legal info. emacs21.ico is not due to Davenport.
  Voelker could not immediately recall anything, but will check and
  let us know if he finds anything.


etc/images
  Image files from GTK, Gnome are under GPLv2 (no "or later"?). RMS will
  contact image authors in regards to future switch to v3.

man/*.texi - All manuals should be under GFDL, and should include a
copy of it, so that they can be distributed separately.  faq.texi has
a different license, for some reason no-one can remember.

K Rodgers changes
 It was pointed out that K Rodgers only had assigments for VC and
 ps-print, but had changed several other files. We tried to contact
 him for a general assignment, but he proved uncommunicative (despite
 initially indicating to rms he would sign an assignment). As a result, his
 changes were removed and/or rewritten independently. For details, see
 threads:
