Sorry that my words were confusing, but no, there would not be a warning about Non-GNU ELPA. We would make sure all the packages in that repo would be ok to recommend, and indeed we would recommend it. > It does give the URL for the Mozilla store, with a warning that some > extensions may not be compatible with the goals of the GNU project, > and then it gives a list of vetted extensions. As you've noticed, that issue and the MELPA issue are instances of the same general class of situations. They are affected by the same factors. However, the details are different, and what is right for one is not necessarily right for the other. The node References discusses these factors. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
