Read
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.en.html>.
Network services aren't free or non-free, what matters is the
client. Emacs + Tramp do not use any non-free software.
Tramp does not *recommend* Google Drive. It just offers access to it,
like to many other network ressources.
