For what it's worth I didn't read it that way.



I use PowerShell and have spent some time looking into what it would

take to build .NET Core [1] in Guix. It uses expat license [2] & would

unblock lots of useful software, including PowerShell.



There's a developer guide [3] with build instructions. It seems like it

ought to be doable.



If you want to get PowerShell into Guix I support that goal (with any

patches necessary to remove telemetry & any nonfree bits, of course) and

would be happy to provide assistance and encouragement. I think

packaging Core CLR and the .NET Core tools is the first step there.



Cheers,

Ryan
