There are very few package archives that meet our moral criteria for suggesting their use. In fact, currently only one: GNU ELPA. We are thinking of making another, which we can informally call NonGNU ELPA. Some of the packages now in other archives could be included there. The details remain to be worked out. For moral reasons, we will not suggest an archive that contains packages that steer or lead users towards installing or running nonfree software.
