First note: at RMS's request, the name of microGNUemacs has been
changed to mg. Please refer to it by that name, and not by the
original name.

The ability to run a stripped-down version is part of the stock mg
distribution.

On the flip side, parts of the mg distribution carries copyright
notices. The two that I know of are:

/*

 *                                                                
 * Incorporates the browser, for rummaging around on disks,
 * and the usual Emacs editing command menu

and:

I'm going to assume that OXXI got in touch with Louis before
incorporating his code into their Modula-II distribution. Someone in
Maryland might want to make sure of that.

I'd appreciate knowing that OXXI obeyed the redistribution
restrictions on my code, also. Is the source to microGNUemacs on the
disk?

Of course, if they rewrote all of mg from scratch in Modula-II, then
there's no problem at all.
