  Emacs and XEmacs each come with Lisp packages that are lacking in the
  other.  The two versions have some significant differences at the Lisp
! programming level.
! 
! Many XEmacs features have found their way into recent versions of Emacs,
! and more features can be expected in the future, but there are still many
! differences between the two.
! 
! The FSF has used some of the code in XEmacs, and would like to use
! other parts, but the earlier XEmacs maintainers did not always keep
! track of the authors of contributed code, which makes it impossible
! for the FSF to get copyright papers signed for that code.  (The FSF
! requires these papers for all the code included in Emacs, aside from
! generic C support packages that are not integrated into the code of
! Emacs proper.)

! with ``GNU Emacs'' would be misleading, since XEmacs too has its
! origin in the GNU Project.
