This implies that Electron is non-free. Is the concern over certain unclear licensing practices of Chromium? If so, can Chromium just be built without those unclearly-licensed components? For example: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-02/msg00009.html If there is no intentional malice with regards to licensing from Electron, Chromium, or any other projects involved, then it seems more appropriate to me to fix or work around the issue than it does to avoid the projects entirely. These are popular projects and it's in our best interest to do our best to resolve the issues rather than sidestep them, because they are not going away. -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 https://mikegerwitz.com
