As I see it, contributing to Guix doesn't make you a part of GNU or FSF. > I believe that the reason why free software is better and will always > be better than non-free software, is because of all the love and care > that we put in.

I don't understand how these concerns relate to Guix. I look at Guix as at a software project, and I simply don't participate in the general GNU/FSF discussions that raises in guix-devel list sometimes. > I hope you can understand and respect my decision.
