[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

Given the GNU FSDG, and more specifically the requirement that "nor should the distribution refer to third-party repositories that are not committed to only including free software", and given that the python-pip package [1] allows the user to browse and install from a repository which includes non-free packages [2], should that package not be dropped from the Guix repository? Or is its mere presence in the Guix repository not considered as "referring to" a third-party repository?

[1] http://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/python-pip-20.2.4 (http://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/python-pip-20.2.4)
[2] see for instance https://pypi.org/search/?c=License+::+Other/Proprietary+License (https://pypi.org/search/?c=License+%3A%3A+Other%2FProprietary+License)

Thanks,
--
