I don't know, but probably someone here knows of some examples. I have a vague recollection, though, that some of us already asked the maintainers of Melpa to make this change, and they did not want to. Does anyone actually know? > The list of packages that wrap proprietary software would be anyway > required, if GNU wish to publish elpa.nongnu.org Yes and no. We would not try to import all packages from MELPA except those that were excluded for this reason. Rather, we would need to examine each package to decide whether to import it, and whether and how change it. In the process we would see if the package has any problems that might be reasons not to import it. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
