The difference is that references to non-free software would not be provided by GNU ELPA package to users. If free software references on GNU.org are extreme, then my standpoint is extreme too, but I am not a conformist that has desires to be in a non-extreme class of people so I do not mind how it is classified, seen, perceived or criticized. I do not make my analysis or present my personal opinions to conform them to non-extreme class. Just as the GNU website does not provide references to non-free software catalogue, then why should such package be part of GNU ELPA and unintentionally or intentionally promote non-free software. Note the "GNU" in GNU ELPA. And Happy New Free Software Year.
