If this is agreeable, what's the next step? Is CEDET in a state where we can dump it into the Emacs CVS tree, then work out whatever details need to be worked out? That would be the fastest way to get things started up and running. Also, I'm not too clear about your explanation about the legal problem you mentioned. If CEDET is added to Emacs, would your existing copyright assignment already cover it, or is there some other paperwork we need to work out?
