Re: Testing new abbrev tables in elisp

[Richard Stallman]

    In fact (Richard, would you please confirm?) it may be a good idea to
    use the Lisp implementation as a base to avoid legal issues if it
    looks "too much like" XEmacs code (the problem is that AFAIK you have
    looked at the XEmacs code, so couldn't swear that it's not an
    unintentional copy of someone else's code).

That is valid in general, but is it an issue here?  Our old C code was
written by me, mostly.
