This package was debianized by Rob Browning <rlb@defaultvalue.org> on
Tue, 16 Dec 1997 00:05:45 -0600.

The original source for this package can be found at
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git under the emacs-@UPSTREAM_VERSION@ tag.
That tag was used to create the Debian upstream archive
(@DEB_FLAVOR@_@DEBSRC_VERSION@.orig.tar.bz2) after making adjustments to comply with
the DFSG (see below).

Please see /usr/share/doc/@DEB_FLAVOR@-common/README.Debian.gz for a
description of the Debian specific differences from the upstream
version.

As mentioned there, some files (including some of the Emacs
documentation) have been removed from this package because their
licenses do not appear to satisfy the requirements of the Debian Free
Software Guidelines (DFSG).  See http://www.debian.org/social_contract.

In particular, some of the info pages are covered under the GNU Free
Documentation License (GFDL), which Debian has decided does not
satisfy the DFSG in cases where "Invariant Sections" are specified
(this includes front and back cover texts).  See this Debian General
Resolution on the topic: http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001.

The Ubuntu project does not consider that GFDL invariant sections make a
work non-free, so has placed the package @DEB_FLAVOR@-common-non-free in
the "main" archive section, and added a dependency from
@DEB_FLAVOR@-common. You should therefore have all documentation on your
system.

Some other files have been removed because their license only allows
verbatim copying, or because there was some other question.

    This list of frequently asked questions about GNU Emacs with
    answers (``FAQ'') may be translated into other languages,
    transformed into other formats (e.g., Texinfo, Info, WWW, WAIS),
    and updated with new information.

    The same conditions apply to any derivative of the FAQ as apply to
    the FAQ itself.  Every copy of the FAQ must include this notice or
    an approved translation, information on who is currently
    maintaining the FAQ and how to contact them (including their
    e-mail address), and information on where the latest version of
    the FAQ is archived (including FTP information).

    The FAQ may be copied and redistributed under these conditions,
    except that the FAQ may not be embedded in a larger literary work
    unless that work itself allows free copying and redistribution.

    [This version has been heavily edited since it was included in the
    Emacs distribution.]
