But this does raise an interesting question. If we distribute a binary version of Emacs that can use these Free libraries if they are installed on the user's system, but does not depend on them being present, and does not include the libraries by default, then is it OUR responsibility to distribute the source for those libraries, or can we tell the user that if they install those libraries, they can get the source from the same place they got the library? If we don't distribute the binaries for these libraries, I think we do not have to distribute the source either. But that is an interesting question, and I will discuss it with Eben Moglen in regard to clarifying the GPL in the next version.
