But that's precisely the point here. In the case of Emacs as a
project, *you* cannot. The project *will* reject such code, for a
reason extraneous to the GPL license. Namely, the owner of the
copyright refuses to yield it to the FSF.
If you mean that you can distribute a fork of Emacs containing that
code without infringing either license, yes, that's true. Or a
separate project such as XEmacs theoretically could do that, both
legally and by project policy.
