Hey Richard,

Fortunately, access to MELPA does not require running nonfree software.

Are you maybe confusing the MELPA website and MELPA itself? That wouldn't make the objection any more valid, of course, since the website is free software as well (just not properly detected by LibreJS).

In any case, MELPA is a package archive. You access it with package.el, without running any MELPA-specific code.

Making such harsh statement without a basis in fact is regrettable too.

Cheers,
Clément.
