No, IIUC it just means that their header notices shouldn't say public domain because, while the original version may have been PD, the current version is inevitably covered by the copyright of the FSF because of all the changes we've accumulated on them since they were incorporated into Emacs. And for that same reason, we need to distribute them under a license we find acceptable: it could be CC0 (to try and mimick PD as much as possible), or GPLv3+ (like all our other files). > Because feedmail.el isn't the only one, we have a few more.
