As-is, I don't think this is a good example, because
'expression->initrd' does not set #:substitutable? #false,
the 'zfs' package has the comment (*)
`(;; The ZFS kernel module should not be downloaded since the
license
;; terms don't allow for distributing it, only building it
locally.
#:substitutable? #f [...])
and IIUC, the code inside expression->initrd copies the kernel module
into
the new store item, so it looks like this accidentally suggest people
to
commit copyvios, and copyvios are currently against the law.
Greetings,
Maxime.
(*) Though I don't understand that comment: Guix is a distribution, so
by definition
it's distributing zfs -- unless it's only talking about the binaries
and not the
source code ...
