I don't understand whether the FSF public license includes Emacs-Lisp files I
write.  These would be files written using GNU Emacs and probably working only
with GNU Emacs, but not extending the editing capabilities of Emacs at all.
An example might be a sophisticated Emacs-Lisp program that lets people
construct and play crossword puzzles.  If my company sells such a program, is
it permitted to restrict further distribution OF THAT FILE ALONE by the buyer?
