To clarify: this is not Emacs. Instead, it is a text editor that features improvements over the built-in editor. It was partly written by Carsten Dominik (creator of Org mode), who is an Emacs user. Some features were inspired by Emacs, but the similarities end there.

Insofar as this is true, the original EMACS was not Emacs, either. Instead, it was a collection of Editor MACroS for TECO.

Probably what you mean is that it's not "GNU Emacs"
