WDYT? That is an option, but adding just the admin/unidata directory would be enough. If consider those as part of Emacs, so that the GPL applies, then the GPL requires inclusion of unidata-gen.el because it's a script for compilation, and likewise requires UnicodeData.txt because it's the source they are compiled from. Here's an idea. We could make a second tarball with admin/unidata, or perhaps all of admin, and say that the full Emacs sources consist of both together. People who redistribute source ought to redistribute both, but users won't have to download both. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
