I will not take a stand on this issue other than to point out that
EMACS (ITS TECO version) was developed and distributed under the same
type of "public-domain" agreement that GNU proposed (however, EMACS
never asked for donations in terms of equipment or money).  Having used
ITS EMACS on a DEC-20, Gosling's on both VAXen and 11's, and
hearing about Montgomery's and CCA's versions, I estimate that the
original is at least an order of magnitude better.  (This is not to 
say I don't like the others, just that the original is better.)

Thus, a system like this can possibly work, but it's not necessarily a 
sure thing.
