According to JWZ: all of our work on Emacs (and on GCC and GDB) was released under the GPL. We even assigned the copyright on all of our work back to the FSF, because we had no proprietary interest in Emacs per se: it was just a tool that we wanted to use https://www.jwz.org/doc/lemacs.html I used lemacs/XEmacs a long time, (until GNU/Emacs caught up and surpassed XEmacs). -- Dan Espen
