this patch is to add the NaCl operating system for chromium into the

Thanks, I did a bit more reading about NaCl and in <https://developer.chrome.com/native-client> I ran across the statement "NaCl modules must be run from the Chrome Web Store (CWS)".

At first glance this restriction appears to conflict with the GNU General Public License that GNU Emacs is distributed under. If so, I'm not seeing how it'd be useful to apply that patch to the GNU Emacs source, as the patch would cause the resulting NaCl executable to not be redistributable under the license terms of GNU Emacs. If I am misunderstanding the situation, could you please explain things? Thanks.
