I don't think so, at least not a general assignment. I asked him once
before when someone else made a Cygwin port that turned out to be
entirely based on Andy's code, but he was not willing to sign
anything. The other party did not seem to understand the code well
enough to maintain it anyway, so I did not try to change Andy's mind
at that time.

I think he said he was the only one at that time, but recently Ben
Wing has done a lot of work on the Windows port of XEmacs, so he may
have touched that code since.
