I asked him once before when someone else made a Cygwin port that turned out to be entirely based on Andy's code, but he was not willing to sign anything. The other party did not seem to understand the code well enough to maintain it anyway, so I did not try to change Andy's mind at that time. > And if Andy Piper is not the only person who worked on the files you > copied from XEmacs, we need papers from the other authors as well. I think he said he was the only one at that time, but recently Ben Wing has done a lot of work on the Windows port of XEmacs, so he may have touched that code since.
