So is nixpkgs, its official MIT-licenced collection of package definitions. (Guix combines both concepts into one repository.) You might be confusing 'non-free' with 'does not follow GNU's Free Software Distribution Guidelines' (FSDG), a much stricter set of additional rules that dictate what every single installable package is allowed to be and do. Nix/nixpkgs/NixOS have not opted to follow these unrelated rules; GNU Guix have. Both projects are Free software. Both must therefore grant you the freedom to run non-free software; Nix makes this more convenient. Kind regards, T G-R Sent from a Web browser. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
