@@ -3592,19 +3592,22 @@ FAQ, we use the name ``Emacs'' only for the official version.
Emacs and XEmacs each come with Lisp packages that are lacking in the
other. The two versions have some significant differences at the Lisp
programming level.
Many XEmacs features have found their way into recent versions of Emacs,
and more features can be expected in the future, but there are still many
differences between the two.
The FSF has used some of the code in XEmacs, and would like to use
other parts, but the earlier XEmacs maintainers did not always keep
track of the authors of contributed code, which makes it impossible
for the FSF to get copyright papers signed for that code. (The FSF
requires these papers for all the code included in Emacs, aside from
generic C support packages that are not integrated into the code of
Emacs proper.)

If you want to talk about these two versions and distinguish them,
please call them ``Emacs'' and ``XEmacs.'' To contrast ``XEmacs''
with ``GNU Emacs'' would be misleading, since XEmacs too has its
origin in the GNU Project.
