Questions about LClint package I am creating.

[Dale Miller <dale@csd.uwo.ca>]

I am working on an LClint package that is taking much
longer than I expected due to unforseen time constraints.
I hope to finish it up in the next couple of weeks. To
do so I need answers to a couple of questions. First and
most important is a question about the license. It follows:

     Copyright (c) Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1994, 1995, 1996.

 following conditions:

     2. This code may not be re-distributed or modified
        without permission from MIT (contact 
        lclint-request@larch.lcs.mit.edu.)  

        Modification and re-distribution are encouraged,
        but we want to keep track of changes and
        distribution sites.


I mailed the request list as required and received the 
following reply.

Sorry for the slow response, I was out of town last week.

Sure, I have no problem with this, as long as some effort is made to
make sure the most recent version is included as well as documentation
pointing to the larch site.

So is this allowed in the regular distribution or should it
be in non-free.

Secondly, the LClint package provides some .el and .elc files
to allow access to LClint through emacs. I noticed a directory
under /usr/lib/emacs named site-lisp. Is this an appropriate
place to install these files or does that directory serve some
other purpose? There are only 3or4 files so should I create a
separate sub-directory for them if this is the proper place to
put them?

Thanks for your input
