Bzzzzt..  Copyrights can take many forms.  Some require that source
code NOT be distributed freely, some allow it.  In general, unless
stated otherwise in the copyright, you are required to contact author
(copyright holder) before doing anything with source.
I say contact the author
because he doesn't have to redistribute his code at all.  The original
uEmacs author specifies that you can have HIS source code.  That says
absolutely nothing about additions.  If its just source to uEmacs,
without the Windows source, there are a couple sites.  Mail me if you want
those.

Nope.  In order to get Windows to use your icon instead of the
application's, just change the icon in the File/Properties dialog box
of the Program Manager.
BTW, you can get lots of icons from ftp sites and bulletin boards,
in addition to making your own with publicly available utilities.
