Re: Proposal for an Emacs User Survey

> Does MELPA contains non-free software?

No, it doesn't.  Neither does the website contain non-free JS, it runs
fine with LibreJS.  The only concern here is that MELPA does not adhere
to GNU's coding guidelines, such as never ever referring, linking or
otherwise supporting non-free software (for example by hosting packages
that wrap non-free executables or are tied into working with non-free
operating systems).  And why should they, they are not GNU, they are a
community-provided package archive and a wildly successful one, too.

Even if it contained non-free software, this is beside the point.  What
use is a survey if it doesn't strive to accurately capture the status
quo and instead basks in ideological purity?
