Yes, I am aware of that. Christian has already stated that it is OK with him to sign papers. If there is interest in integrating lua-mode into Emacs, I'd try to reach the other distributors mentioned in the copyright notice and try to find out whether there are other, unmentioned. > XEmacs > development headquarters in general does not bother about assignments > too much.

So that's the downpoint. I see. I'll write to the (known) contributors (the package is not that large, so it seems very probable they are all). > With regard to XEmacs support: the current maintainer of the mode (in > this case, you) decides about the policies.

Yes, I see the point.
