+XEmacs.  Nowadays, although some packages still maintain such
+compatibility code, several of the more popular built-in and third
+party packages have either stopped supporting XEmacs or was developed
+exclusively for Emacs.

s/was/were/ in the next-to-last line, I think.

I think we should keep some of the text that talks about copyright
assignment problems in XEmacs sources, in case people would want to
borrow some of that code and submit it to Emacs.

Otherwise, SGTM, thanks.

I just kept the old text, since I couldn't find a way to shorten it.
I'm not sure if there is any code left in XEmacs that we are very keen
on using these days?  If not, perhaps we could reword it.

I've attached a tentative patch here.  What do you think?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
