It does not make you run proprietary software, AFAIK. Instead it makes you contact a remote computer that provides a service over which you don't have any control. Whether that computer runs proprietary or Free software is anyone's guess but doesn't directly impact you. > isn't this making Emacs non-free? How could it? > Two, well, mentioning non-free software on your documentation on EmacsWiki > and also on the main page as I said. I wouldn't recommend the use of such proprietary services, indeed.
