Well, not quite the same. You can look at the emacs source and maybe
learn something from it, heck, you might even steal(?) the idea how the
code does it's magic and I bet RMS won't send his lawyers out to punch
you because your program is also capable of "editing text in an interactive,
keyboard driven way" or something like that. Try distributing a really
market-smashing spreadsheet that uses Lotus-Style menus and you'll see what
you'll get ...
