NonGNU ELPA
summary
Proposal creates a separate archive called NonGNU ELPA that accepts only free Emacs Lisp packages without requiring copyright assignments, so packages stay outside core Emacs. It uses a central download repository that automatically mirrors per-package upstream repos rather than a single editable Git repo, letting maintainers keep control while allowing the archive to adjust packages for Emacs compatibility. Implementation is incomplete and the plan calls for contributors to build the automation and hosting.
