That would be sufficient for us to use the code. We want to have something we can point at, to show a court that you have did put it in the public domain. You can do that by signing a copyright disclaimer. Please write to assign@gnu,org saying you'd like to disclaim copyright on a contribution to Emacs, and they will say how. I think you'd still need your parent or guardian to sign it, but it wouldn't assign the copyright. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
