I don't think it was quite like that; Gosling emacs went through a
number of versions.  I recall (and may be completely incorrect) that
the first I saw was #54.  Later, I think we received #85.  The
Unipress version was #264.  On some machine at CMU (installed in some
bin directory) I came across #231.  The person who obtained emacs #85
for us did mention something about needing to get permission from
Gosling to give it away again, but I don't recall these restrictions
on #54.

So, no, he probably didn't recall it -- he just issued a new version
with new features and new restrictions.
