GNU Emacs is not in the public domain, but it is free:
everyone is permitted to duplicate and redistribute it
under conditions that are designed to prevent any
proprietary versions of it from ever existing.

If you can transfer files on the Internet, you can get
the file /u2/emacs/GETTING-GNU-SOFTWARE from prep.mit.ai.edu
which tells you how to copy Emacs from that machine.

Other people may also make copies of Emacs available for
copying in various ways; I don't keep track of them.

The Free Software Foundation will mail you a 1600bpi tar tape
containing Emacs (plus scheme, bison and hack) if you send $150 in
advance (overseas add $15 if you want air mail; Massachusetts
residents add 5% sales tax).  Printed Emacs manuals are $15 (plus $15
for air mail, or 5% in Mass).  The address is
