# Q&A
[[!template id="chapters" vidid="mail-qanda" data=""" 07:25.000 Why Gnus over Notmuch? 08:59.000 So the idea is more about Emacs as a holistic computing experience with other packages and services rather than about email specifically? 10:38.000 Early on you expressed misgivings about the western copyright regime, but you're using a GPL license. Is this a conflict? 15:15.000 Do you know of GNU Guix? How do you think about using it for packaging/configuring Emacs and your various packages? 16:47.000 Is this being split up in a heavily configured server for email hosting and a thin client package for your local client to integrate with your Emacs packages, maybe with a client thin docker container for other packages like notmuch locally? 23:23.000 So do you combine tagging facilities of Notmuch into Gnus as well? 25:38.000 Could you expand on the definition of libre-halaal? 31:30.000 What is the scope of what you are imagining? Just software? """]]
