Ah, sorry for the confusion. The GPL does not prevent you from releasing = your contributions in the public domain (that is, it is OK to release you= r contributions in the public domain; the GPL doesn't prevent you to do s= o; CC0 is a good way to do that). In fact, your contributions will stay i= n the public domain even after they are integrated into Emacs (though fut= ure modifications by other volunteers will be GPL'd): If a program combines public-domain code with GPL-covered code, can I= take the public-domain part and use it as public domain code? (#CombinePublicDomainWithGPL) You can do that, if you can figure out which part is the public d= omain part and separate it from the rest. If code was put in the public doma= in by its developer, it is in the public domain no matter where it has been= =2E See also https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLUSGovAdd, https://w= ww.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AssignCopyright, and https://www.gnu.org= /licenses/license-list.html#PublicDomain .
