Contribution Package Proposal: JASSPA's MicroEmacs

- Organization: Jasspa
Hi,
I would like to contribute JASSPA's MicroEmacs to the Cygwin
package list, a Emacs Text Editor. This is currently being
distributed from http://www.jasspa.com. We are in the process
of putting together the next release and have now resolved
most of the problems in porting to the Cygwin environment
(site contents are not current).
Because we are encumbered with a license that was inherited
from the original uEmacs then I though I had better check
whether our license violates your distribution mechanism. We
are (unfortunately) not under GPL, but all of the source is
freely available. The license we currently run with is
attached below.
So before I take this any further (i.e. put together a
complete package) then I need some sort of approval that we
have a potentially valid submission.
Also attached is the setup.hint - as per Web instructions.
Thanks
Jon.
