Hello,
octave-mode seemed to have been maintained both in GNU Octave and in
GNU Emacs for a while. The Emacs code has been removed from GNU Octave
(10856:dea165ff6d74) and it is now only maintained in GNU Emacs. But the
octave-mode manual is still part of GNU Octave
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/1d58abc740c0/doc/interpreter/emacs.txi
It is not included in GNU Emacs and it is partially outdated. The GNU Octave
maintainers want to get rid of it and since octave-mode is maintained within
GNU Emacs it makes sense to move it to GNU Emacs.
It currently says "Copyright (C) 1996-2013 Kurt Hornik". I have contacted him
and he agreed to change the copyright to the FSF. What is the correct
procedure for this?
(Since he is the original author of octave-mode, I assume he has already
signed the fsf papers.)
Regards,
Rüdiger
