This is wrong. All BSD (2.8,2.9,4.1,4.2,4.3,etc) is derived from ATT
licensed code. An ATT license is a prerequisite to running BSD. If
Gosling wrote emacs on a machine with an educational Unix license, it
would appear he is violating his agreement with ATT to make the results
of work done on such a site freely available. That does not necessarily
give RMS the right to distribute Gosling's code, however.
