so let's take another example:
Local Variables:
mode: indented-text
indent-tabs-mode: nil
sentence-end-double-space: t
fill-column: 72
those lines gets *interpreted* by emacs (i.e., it generate instructions
to drive a process, something very similar to python bytecode, isn't
it?)
then *any* file incorporating instructions for emacs should be released
under the GPL? and don't say emacs triggers the "part of the OS" clause,
please. (ok, ok.. i know.. emacs is an OS by itself, but no jokes.. :)
