It is "broadly" +compatible with GNU Emacs, the latest creation of Richard M. +Stallman, Chief GNUisance and inventor of Emacs. GNU Emacs (and other +portions of GNU as they are released) are essentially free, (there are +handling charges for obtaining it) and so is Mg. You may never have +to learn another editor. (But probably will, at least long enough to +port Mg...) Mg was formerly named MicroGnuEmacs, the name change was +done at the request of Richard Stallman. + +Mg is not associated with the GNU project, and most of it does not +have the copyright restrictions present in GNU Emacs. (However, some +of the system dependent modules and the regular expression module do +have copyright notices. Look at the source code for exact +copyright restrictions.) The Mg authors individually may or may not +agree with the opinions expressed by Richard Stallman in "The GNU +Manifesto". + +This program is intended to be a small, fast, and portable editor for +people who can't (or don't want to) run real Emacs for one reason +or another. It is compatible with GNU because there shouldn't be +any reason to learn more than one Emacs flavor. |
