New from the scratch? Copyright-assigment policy will lead to burocracy. It will discourage peopl= e=20 and stiffle their creativity. And probably it will shadow reputation of FSF= ,=20 which is to deplore not only for Emacs's sake. I miss the human maintainer and copyright-notice in the sources. It was alw= ays=20 nice to read. Maintainer FSF reads terrible.=20 Greetings Andreas Roehler
