In all your packages license is not properly referenced, label GPL3+ is not enough as label is not a license. You have to give more proper copyright notice. Example is in C-h C-c search for words "How to apply" but minimum I think, would be to provide a link to the license. Best would be to provide license along with the software especially if it is multie file package. Otherwise follow the guideline. There are people without Internet, GPL3+ as label means little. Benefiting people is best when you tell them: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright (C) This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program. If not, see . Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Copyright (C) This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. You may look into so many other Emacs packages. > are done? > > also, check out other potential packs here: > > https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/ > https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/gnus/ > https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/ide/ > https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/w3m/ Good. Not all files need to be "Emacs packages" in the sense they can be installed, they may be programs. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
