Thanks for your work on the Emacs port, Giorgos.

Emacs and GNU tar have switched; gcc will move with 4.3 (.0, or  
perhaps 4.3.3 [depending on how silly someone is about bumping  
version #'s]); but most of the other utilities seem to be waiting  
until their next normal "feature release" before changing the license  
terms over.

Anyway, did you have a specific concern about GPLv3?
