The text editor part works.

I'm not sure if it is supposed to do more
or be able to be useful for more...

On closer inspection, the license is not GPLv3+ at all, AFAICS.  There’s
an ‘Artistic’ file license with the old Artistic license, which is
non-free AFAIK.  And there’s code in libframe/ for instance marked as:

  /* Copyright (c) 1992 AT&T - All rights reserved. */

Lacking additional info, that makes it non-free.  There’s also a bunch
of Plan 9 headers and stuff taken as-is.

Do you know of free distros that provide Wily?  Could you check whether
I’m missing something?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I am closing this bug. With 'Artistic' as a license
this will never be included in Guix master, case is
clear.

Thanks for the review
