I have to guess at what that means, but I suspect this is an unacceptable problem. I think the dependence on Google needs to be eliminated entirely before we can have this in GNU. Most Google services require the user to run nonfree software -- does this? For moral reasons we can't recommend that people run that. Also, the conditions for a Google account are unacceptable. For moral reasons we can't recommend that people make those accounts. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
