The GNU FSDG says "The distro must contain no DRM, no back doors, and no spyware." Since GNU Guix has committed to follow the FSDG, that means that we must not include programs that include spyware. We have committed ourselves to "removing such programs if any are discovered." Guix _is_ committed to the GNU FSDG, right? Do you agree that #1 and #3 look like spyware? If so, wouldn't that make them blockers? Mark
