Clarify emacs.g License about emacs.g HOT 2 CLOSED

I would have preferred to leave this undefined but now you have forced my hand.

1. I believe that copyright does (or should not) apply to configuration.
2. I consider this repository to consist almost exclusively of configuration.

Only the seven line Makefile and four lines from from init.el are not configuration. That's only eleven trivial lines, which also aren't (or should not be) copyrightable.

-include lib/borg/borg.mk

bootstrap-borg:
  	@git submodule--helper clone --name borg --path lib/borg \
	--url [email protected]:emacscollective/borg.git
	@cd lib/borg; git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master
	@cd lib/borg; git reset --hard HEAD

(progn ;    `borg'
  (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "lib/borg" user-emacs-directory))
  (require  'borg)
  (borg-initialize))

The rest boils down to many instances of "use package X" and "set variable Y to Z". And a bit of documentation.

Thanks for clarifying, and for your emacs contributions.

I'm not sure how my question causes a "forced hand" though. Users need to know what the usability is for borrowed content. Leaving potential restrictions or complexities undocumented and undiscovered now can only hurt the noble efforts behind emacscollective. Do you disagree? Thinking it might help structure & disambiguate documentation too...

If you don't want sunlight on it (though that begs the question), maybe add a subtle link to your post in the readme?
