bug#8758: New package: ninja

[matthew]

Someone did answer back then, somewhere (maybe not on this list). I 
remember trying to submit to ELPA and agreeing to assign copyright to 
the FSF, but being asked to sign a document that also assigned copyright 
of every other Emacs package I'd written to the FSF too. I went back and 
forth with the FSF lawyer for a few emails, where he kept making small 
changes to the document that didn't really solve the problem, until I 
gave up.

I'll look into submitting to Marmalade, thanks!
