Maintainers in GNU project never include proprietary software in Emacs
neither in GNU ELPA, nor non-GNU ELPA on GNU servers. They are doing
great work. There is no referencing to proprietary software, no
mentioning of proprietary software.
People may use any free software to upgrade their proprietary
software, and they can create internal proprietary software, but does
it matter when it is internal? As soon as they convey the software to
some party or publish it, it has to be the GPL3+ compatible. How much
people use it internally is up to them. All software never published
could be considered proprietary, but if it was never published... it
does not even exist for public.
If it was not issued with a compatible free software license, then it
could be considered that it was issued, that it is GPL3+ and it could
be taken as free software as license was not given to create
proprietary Emacs modifications.
Emacs package modifies Emacs as editor. Thus any Emacs program
distributed in public has to be free software compatible with GPL3+
license.
