This list of frequently asked questions about GNU Emacs with answers |
|---|
| 12 |
("FAQ") may be translated into other languages, transformed into other |
|---|
| 13 |
formats (e.g. Texinfo, Info, WWW, WAIS), and updated with new |
|---|
| 14 |
information. |
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 |
The same conditions apply to any derivative of the FAQ as apply to |
|---|
| 17 |
the FAQ itself. Every copy of the FAQ must include this notice or an |
|---|
| 18 |
approved translation, information on who is currently maintaining the |
|---|
| 19 |
FAQ and how to contact them (including their e-mail address), and |
|---|
| 20 |
information on where the latest version of the FAQ is archived |
|---|
| 21 |
(including FTP information). |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
The FAQ may be copied and redistributed under these conditions, |
|---|
| 24 |
except that the FAQ may not be embedded in a larger literary work |
|---|
| 25 |
unless that work itself allows free copying and redistribution. |

(as of August 1999) for inclusion in the Emacs distribution.] |
