IANAL but I worry that that may not be explicit enough to it clear to outsiders that the file will become part of Emacs. When you are talking to a person who works with you in a group, you can easily convey a point clearly _to per_ with words that won't convey the point clearly to outsiders. So if we want to rely on this, we should make sure to make that invitation explicitly clear about this very point. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
