Can you explain the connection between libre software guidelines (FSDG),
GVFS, and WebKitGTK?

If the problem was simply that the WebKitGTK package was broken for a

GNU's position is that services are not "free" or "nonfree" in the way
that software is. So, it shouldn't be a problem that Guix packages can
use 3rd party services.
