- remember to change the latest copyright year in the --version output.
- [Post-release, will automate this like set-version does for version.]
+ `set-copyright' in admin.el will do all the above.

+Dave Love alerted us to a potential legal problem:
+http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2007-04/msg00459.html
+
+On consultation with a lawyer, we found there was no problem:

** Issues that are "fixed" for the release of Emacs 22, but we may
wish to revisit later in more detail
*** These are copyright issues still to be addressed:
-python.el potential legal problem
-http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2007-04/msg00459.html
+None known.

+
+** NOTES ON RELICENSING TO GPL3
+
+The EMACS_22_BASE branch was changed to GPLv3 (or later) 2007/07/25.
+
+Some notes:
+(see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-07/msg01431.html)
+
+1. There are some files in Emacs CVS which are not part of Emacs (eg
+those included from Gnulib). These are all copyright FSF and (at time
+of writing) GPL >= 2. rms says may as well leave the licenses of these
+alone (may import them from Gnulib again). These are:
+
+ Gnulib:
+ src/getloadavg.c
+ src/gmalloc.c
+ src/md5.c
+ src/md5.h
+ src/mktime.c
+ src/strftime.c
+ src/termcap.c
+ src/tparam.c
+
+ Others:
+ config.guess
+ config.sub
+ lispintro/missing
+ man/texinfo.tex
+
+Note _not_ included in the above are src/regex.{c,h} (rms: "That
+forked version is only in Emacs, so definitely relicense that."), and
+oldXMenu/insque.c (rms: "We wrote that specifically for Emacs, so
+definitely relicense that.").
+
+2. The files that are copyright FSF and AIST, or AIST alone, should be
+and were updated, ditto the oldXMenu files with FSF copyright, and
+msdos/is_exec.c and sigaction.c.
+
+3. lwlib/
+
+Files originally in Lucid Widget Library were left alone (excludes
+ChangeLog, etc), ie remain under GPL v1 or later, or v2 or later.
+(rms: "We may as well leave this alone, since we are never going to
+change it much.")
+
+4. There are some files where the FSF holds no copyright. These were
+left alone:
+
+ leim/MISC-DIC/CTLau-b5.html >= v2
+ leim/MISC-DIC/CTLau.html >= v2
+ (above included in lisp/international/titdic-cnv.el)
+ leim/MISC-DIC/pinyin.map >= v1
+ leim/MISC-DIC/ziranma.cin >= v1
+ leim/SKK-DIC/SKK-JISYO.L >= v2
+ leim/SKK-DIC/README >= v2
+ leim/ja-dic/ja-dic.el >= v2
+
+5. At time of writing, some non-Emacs icons included from Gnome remain
+under GPLv2 (no "or later"). See:
+
+ etc/images/gnus/README
+ etc/images/mail/README
+ etc/images/README
+ nt/icons/README
