Out of curiosity, do you know if such software is widespread? I guess we are talking about things like something like a proprietary compiler with static analysis, right? It should also be pointed out that the issue isn't acknowledging non-free software in itself (my usual example is browse-url supports Google Chrome), but a strict dependence for the package to work. Now I am not sure if, e.g. adding support for Intel's ICC compiler would be OK if GCC and Clang were also provided (never used ICC so this example might be nonsensical)? > The purpose of this email is mostly to gauge whether there's any desire > for this package in NonGNU ELPA. What do you think? I certainly think that this would be a very interesting package to have in NonGNU ELPA (or even GNU ELPA). If you are interested, it might even make sense to add the macros -- or some variation thereof -- you use to generate a checker to Flymake (ie. the core) itself. Whether or not the checkers should also be added is a different matter.
