I would like to see it before thinking about whether it can be an exception. and reportedly still used by some people. Does this mean it is almost obsolete? They are not very essential (we could release one or both separately), but have them to be exceptions would make my life simpler. I don't think we should make copyright exceptions for files that aren't really important to include. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
