What are the legal implications, if any, of writing a user interface to
a 'to be sold' piece of software in GNU Emacs' Lisp, then selling the
software and interface and giving away with it a copy of GNU Emacs?
Even where one has no intention of selling GNU Emacs, it would seem
difficult to prove that the cost of one's own software did not include
in some way the fact the GNU Emacs was distributed with it.

No flames please.  Just fact or informed opinion.
