Spacemacs is not shell script that does something separate for itself separate from Emacs as editor and environment. If one writes a shell script that modifies the behavior of Bash shell, and distributes such in public, then such shell script becomes new combined work that modified Bash and is modified work. When you program on your proprietary programmable calculator, that issue is not related to free software, especially not because you have not say that you are distributing it. > > Spacemacs files do not have proper copyright notices, could you please > look into that issue as that is one practical thing you can improve, > it impacts users of Spacemacs and helps them understand the licensing. > > No. I don't like stupid people. Stop your balderdash and get off this repository. That is unfortunate to see such statement.
