As ELPA packages are regarded to be part of Emacs (and distributed under the same license), the comment should say "is part of GNU Emacs". By grepping through the ELPA packages, I notice a lot (most? all?) packages by Protesilaos and Jose (both in the CCs) have the wrong comment. I hope they can fix that. For the other packages I'd have to check if they are maintained in elpa.git or not, and then contact the maintainers accordingly. --=20 Philip Kaludercic on siskin
