In general, we follow the Free System Distribution Guidelines (FSDG) in deciding what is acceptable to include in GNU Guix: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.en.html All software must be freely licensed, and support for DRM is not permitted. However, if you have code that is working for you, or you think that Guix can improve the situation overall, Guix channels are a well-supported way to use Guix while remaining separate from it. --JjDMMuGaJ9VbF/Wk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAl/uHvEACgkQJkb6MLrK fwhMQA//QLsx2t/URImO1t8SY3rrc+D7GSySoO3LpF2y8Mvpt9199VbJ4xfKe/uQ +KZFO4IUNOKv0S/T58F4OeSKNep+vrpYY4oqMHWV54QJal0xPwYdyKqusHl3dB9/ /HfN4ZWfD/RgxuyrzdSDNGB2lr4yxyamNKEzJPZmLWoueKOODBSNDD7nnXqCQBam vvF87WpbqrKbJyU3v/YalVDCE1VrsZpWB6m7fekQ95iCeYrl9a7Qu116JSu/dVwE 0qic7C18xSgIQsmoinfGLY0cv1ax6HXslfvpQ5q4RnStFYgKutP3E53VU1FgztFy 9aTBpJ26hcw10FMJIkG2fqX4PGtillYj+vkDQkt18hZamNedamPwSLfF1E1SD8lp 11Vd6Dk06i8Efo/agSSBNemBtWOfGOqqc+ea8luc6pvGUdxv8bFMiP2Ntn4D5TAk qo1n2FXB4szr2HAvNZYTSSSFvyBWjHXNrU67TcCvTPMnaIpecmYR2s/Ay1Iys9Ys vh49m+GWi/DTe73TaekG+A7g7QinkEFQOad8ksd5H+LXQpR61PZe0rHw3PbNKZOj SQoi39oSc0CA/w2M8MaRy5aceNBYC+MZxYWUn+INETx0VF+dAchn75vsqpkhzvX5 7Gjf2YwfKU8vkOmLPPfLwl97pW5hvT+oNq8tYxBCrxmqvIfWWTA= =4Un1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JjDMMuGaJ9VbF/Wk--
