src/gmalloc.c
   - contains numerous copyrights from the GNU C library. Leave them alone.


*** These are copyright issues still to be addressed:


All README (and other such files) that are non-trivial and were added
by Emacs developers need copyright statements and copying permissions
to be added.


All images files that allow for comments should have copyright and
license statements added. Whether or not this is possible, the
information should be recorded in a README file in each directory with
images.


admin/check-doc-strings
  Author is Martin Buchholz, but no assignment from him on file, and
  rms has no way to reach him.

etc/e/eterm-color.ti  - no copyright
  rms: "I think that is not copyrightable under the merger doctrine
  because the entries are all forced. At least that is the case in the
  US; I am not sure whether we can rely on that in general."

For the above files, mail sent froam rms to Matthew (Martin?) Norwood
asking what to do (via Eben Moglen), 2007/1/22 ("Copyright years").


etc/gnus-refcard.tex
  I (rgm) think the "Gnus Bugfixing Girls + Boys" copyright should
  probably be removed, but it may be ok (waiting for rms)


etc/orgcard.tex - no Rooke in copyright.list
 rms will talk with Org mode author about this.


etc/sk-refcard.ps, pl-refcard.ps, cs-refcard.ps
These refcards need to be regenerated (by those with suitable TeX
setups) to get updated copyrights.

 The copyright and license is stated in the README file, but we may as
 well copy them into the files themselves (possibly at the expense of
 making them incompatible with their original formats, but they will
 still be usable by Emacs). [Kenichi Handa]


lib-src/etags.c - no 'k.* arnold' in copyright.list'
 rms: "That is ok, in principle. I used free code released by Ken
 Arnold as the starting point. However, it may be that we need to get

  - add standard notices to any decided to be non-trivial.


msdos/
  - do we need to add COPYING.LIB (because COPYING.DJ refers to it)?


oldXMenu/
 - should there be any FSF copyrights at all in here? Some were added
   in 2005, without licence notices. Was this right?

 - this file is copyright MIT, which is OK. Leave the copyright alone.

etc/edt-user.doc
  - update BOTH notices in this file

[etc/orgcard.tex, orgcard.ps - files removed 2007/1/29]
  - with no assignment from Rooke, these files were removed. We are
  asking for an assignment, and if one is received the files will be
  replaced.

  - these files are copyright DJ Delorie. Leave the copyrights alone.

src/gmalloc.c
  - contains numerous copyrights from the GNU C library. Leave them alone.

[src/unexhp9k800.c - removed 2007/1/27
[src/m/sr2k.h - removed 2007/1/27]
  - First file removed due to legal uncertainties; second file removed
  due to dependency on first. Note that src/m/hp800.h is still needed on
  hp800 arch.


*** These are copyright issues still to be addressed:


Is it OK to just `cvs remove' a file for legal reasons, or is
something more drastic needed? A removed file is still available from
CVS, if suitable options are applied.


All README (and other such files) that are non-trivial and were added
by Emacs developers need copyright statements and copying permissions
to be added.


All images files that allow for comments should have copyright and
license statements added. Whether or not this is possible, the
information should be recorded in a README file in each directory with
images. Image files to consider (is there such a thing as a "trivial"
image?):
 src/bitmaps/
 etc/*.xpm, *.xbm
 etc/images/
 etc/tree-widget/
 etc/*.ps, .eps
