## Q5: Any thoughts of packages being added as <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_open_source> (a school of thought discarding licenses altogether) into ELPA ?
Not familiar with the URL, unlikely to have much in common. Disregarding licenses - basically asking to lose. Not going to disregard the question of whether the software we recommend to people is free software or not. That's basically blindfolding yourself to the legal issues. If you want to contribute to the free world, put free licenses on your code

# Notes
-
-
- ELPA was created to make it possible to release Emacs packages independently of Emacs releases.
-
-
- Package archives in general lead to a boost of package development/generation. However, those packages were created without notifying the GNU Emacs team/GNU ELPA managers.
-
-
- NonGNU ELPA will not require copyright assignments, but must be free (as in freedom) software.
-
-
- GNU ELPA is one big git repository, and giving someone access grants them access to everything.
