It looks like RMS used to use the official GNU Emacs distribution in a similar manner to the one in which he uses his personal webpage today. http://www.stallman.org/ I'll note that I find myself in sympathy with much of the material on that webpage. I just don't think most of it's germane to software distribution, and I do not think it is -- neighborly -- to attach unremovable, unmodifiable activist literature to software distributions and call the product "free as in freedom". -- G.
