This is how I see it: Every contributor retains copyright to a copy of his contributed code post RIS, but the parts written before IDA belongs only to Pike@IDA. So the best thing to do would probably be to get IDA to release a copy to FSF (and at the same time make sure it can be done again without the fuss), or failing that get permission from RIS to release one of the old copies.

I've written most of the font locking code in tools/pike.el. Now I'd like to move the parts that handles autodoc comments to CC Mode. Would there be any license problems doing that? The code will then fall under the copyright assignment agreement I have with the FSF.
