From this distance, it is unclear if the book that you are holding is
the one maintained by FSF.

I want to go back to the 4 definitions what constitutes a Free Software.
* The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
Yes, for this.
* The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does
your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.
Yes, for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
(freedom 2).
Yes, for this.
* The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others
(freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance
to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a
precondition for this.
Yes, for this.

I not preventing Emacs from making use of it. I will retain the right
to my changes.
