Would it suffice (in addition to a copyright assignment, of course) if the files in GNU ELPA contain this sentence? This file is part of GNU Emacs. Currently, some do but many don't. > 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?

I think all (or at least all Lisp) files in those packages do contain the above sentence, though not all files in the emacs source tree do (e.g. README, INSTALL, CONTRIBUTE). Steve Berman
