I do not know now who really said above paragraph, I just wish to make it clear that I do not speak about what "free software follower should do or not" and I never spoke about that, the statements on repology.el were related on what should be put in GNU ELPA, or not, as it does not align to GNU project purposes. That people do what they wish to do is none of my business. So I never said anything ever on what a free software follower should do or not do.
