Hmmm. That seems to say that calling Emacs-specific editing functions, doing stuff with buffers, etc. implicates the GPL, but writing a general purpose Lisp program (non-Emacs-specific) and running it under Emacs does not. That's different from what I'd thought he'd said about it before, which was that Lisp code that only used the documented Emacs API didn't implicate the GPL.
