While I don’t know yet what the decision for Winetricks should be, I’d
like to note that this is not how we make this decision.  It is not
sufficient for a package to not include or link to non-free software,
but it is true that this is one of the requirements.

Some notes:

- As another data point, Debian provides winetricks in "contrib/", not
  in "non-free";
- There is winetricks-libre at

Hi Guix,

I wonder if Winetricks (https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks) 
meets the
FSDG and can be packaged in Guix.  It's LGPL, but might be 
considered

as way of promoting binary blobs.


[…]

If it does not include or link to non free stuff I guess its 
fine.


If Winetricks is what I think it is, it's literally a vast 
collection of one-click links to install and configure mostly 
non-free software:

That image alone probably settles it…

Kind regards,
