Oleh,

thanks for this link and excerpt.  I could argue that the key word in
the excerpt is "executable".  I cannot see how code written in elisp
itself would need to be GPL.  Distributing it *with* emacs would
probably require it being GPLed but the source code itself, if not based
on already GPLed code, should be fine, e.g. in the context of a
tutorial.

Anyway, I think we've beaten this to death already.  Time to get real
work done! :-)
