After having seen printed some messages pointing out the supposedly "free"
nature of GNU Emacs as opposed to the "shareware/freeware" nature of a
variety of programs for the Amiga, which ask for donations, I'd like to point 
out the fallacy of that argument.

The "GNU Emacs availability information" screen, available to everyone with
2 keystrokes, specifically mentions the word "freeware" referring to the way
GNU Emacs is being distributed and ASKS FOR A PERSONAL DONATION.

Just for the record.
