   Presumably this is/was to encourage use of Guile
   across the board (i.e., in non-free environments too)?

Yes, i believe so.

   Thanks for taking the time to write this.  I can't say exactly
   _why_ it's nice to know how the situation came about, but it
   is, nevertheless.

You're welcome.  It can be both pleasant and unpleasant to
re-re-re-reverbrate.  That's the nature of troughs and crests.
