The copyright clerk's exa= ct words on January 20th were, =E2=80=9FWe've accepted the public domain = disclaimer and added you to our records=E2=80=9D, not =E2=80=9Fwe've acce= pted part of the disclaimer, but rejected another part=E2=80=9D. The disclaimer covers future changes, and everybody's comments about that= part had already been CCed to the clerk, and his answer was, =E2=80=9FWe= 've accepted the public domain disclaimer=E2=80=9D. > but I've always assumed > that disclaimers do not/cannot apply to future changes. I asked > assign@gnu.org, and they confirmed "Disclaimers are not valid for futur= e > contributions". Good luck finding a copyright judge anywhere in America who would agree w= ith your absurd claim that my work since January 8th is not in the public= domain, despite my signed statement that it is. Or if you admit it is PD, I'm sure you can dream up some rationalization = of why PD code isn't allowed in Emacs, and then try to remove it all, whi= ch is a lot more than just my code. Either way, I'm done trying to work on Emacs. This B.S. isn't worth my ti= me.
