ELPA packages are GNU's official Emacs packages and it is most beneficial to provide useful packages in ELPA. Author is free to apply package to MELPA but it is different set of managers of MELPA than developers on GNU here. We could say it is different group of people managing MELPA. As it is free software it can be distributed from any channels or places. Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
