And if that is not enough for some reason, then what exactly should the contributor of a package say, and where, to express such a statement? Also, there are packages distributed with Emacs which can be considered not "clearly" a change to Emacs -- should the same policy be used for them? E.g., Gnus or Org or ERC -- they are add-ons that have no direct effect on the Emacs core.
