You can release with any number of licences you want. If emacs want them GPL Compatible, then release them for the emacs maintainers as GPL Compati= ble. I discourage mixing licenses when releasing for Gnu. You can then release the colours any other ways you want. As the author, no rules apply to you with regards to how you can use them or release them, unless forced on you by some license of somebody else. > -- > Protesilaos Stavrou > https://protesilaos.com >
