Presumably signing papers for Emacs means giving copyright for offered contributions to the FSF, not that anyone can take any code you have written and include it in Emacs. In that respect, Barry Warsaw still needs to give his permission for python-mode.el, doesn't he? > However, before doing that, the first step is to identify whatever > code from their file we would actually like to use. I think there is agreement that pdbtrack is a desirable feature and the patch I scoped out was about 440 lines. Since you will probably insist that all authors are contacted for this feature alone, why not contact them now? -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
