There was a private thread (Subject: t-mouse.el) between myself, RMS and Alessandro Rubini (around 2005-01-05). Alessandro said that he had no problems with t-mouse.el being included and the main difficulty was tracking down Ian T Zimmerman (actually one n as at start of t-mouse.el). The FSF clerk contacted me to say that he had an assignment for Ian in February 2006 (I've lost that communication) and I committed the file shortly afterwards. I have no way of checking who has made copyright assignments for Emacs but I'm surprised Alessandro doesn't have one as his name appears as a developer for Emacs on the Savannah website: http://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist.php?group=emacs How can that be? -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
