We don't support in GNU project proprietary software, such discussions should be made in other places. It is also questionable from licensing view point, both from the proprietary software vendor and from free software viewpoint. GPL3+ license does not allow making publicly distributed software that requires Emacs and also requires proprietary software. It does not go, as it cannot be properly GPL3+ licensed as whole. Unless if it would be written by the author of proprietary software part, as in that case GPL3+ license would allow to disregard any proprietary prohibitions (provided there is source). When any Emacs package is made, then the package has to be with GPL3+ compatible software license because it requires Emacs which is GPL3+ licensed. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
