I'm not sure what the above really means, but the following guidelines
might help clarify:
- Elisp code basically needs to be distributed under a license
compatible with the GPL since it necessary links to the rest of Emacs
which is GPL'd.
- Same for Emacs extensions written in C.
- Emacs code can interact with external applications via pipes without
any restriction on those applications's licensing model.
- You can distribute as a single package a combination of GPL'd Elisp/C
code together with some other code using a different license: the mere
fact of putting it all into a single tarball does not force you to use
the same licenses for all the files.

I don't see a particular problem in this regard from any ELPA repository
(including GNU ELPA).
