Subject: CDAC fonts with Emacs.

Hi Frederick,

I've read your posts on ILUG-C and from those I know that you have a
long standing association with FSF-India. I was hoping you could help
me out with some Emacs/CDAC licensing related issues.

On http://www.m17n.org/emacs-indian/ it says :

"Thanks to the C-DAC at Pune, Emacs Project Team has received the
permission to use C-DAC ISFOC fonts for Emacs-Indian support in 1998."

However, I'm unable to find any further licensing information either
on the Emacs site or from CDAC. My vested interest in getting these
fonts under the GPL is using these with our opensource/GPLed editor
that is currently under development (http://imli.sf.net) .

Though I know you are not directly related to either the Emacs project
or CDAC I was hoping your association with FSF-India can help me get
some clarity in this issue. I have turned to you for help because the
Emacs-indian mailing list seems to have gone silent since 2003. Given
Emacs's status as one of FSF's most visible projects I thought I would
approach somebody from FSF-India for help. I know this is a demand on
your time and I  apologize for this but I was unable to think of any
other avenues for information.

I would be very grateful for any help you can provide. If you are not
the right person to contact about this, can you point me in the right
direction, please.

Thanks and regards,
-Krishna
