They are in Emacs releases 23.2 and 23.3. They have been in all pretests since emacs-23.1.90, dated 2009-12-09. They were merged into the Emacs trunk in bzr 97804, dated 2009-09-28; here's a URL for that: We have made a very bad mistake. Anyone redistributing those versions is violating the GPL, through no fault of his own. We need to fix those releases retroactively (or else delete them), and we need to do it right away. I see two quick ways to fix them: to delete the compiled files, or to add the sources they are made from. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
