Non-free software is just off-topic in official channels, there is no need to interpret malicious intent into it. It is no more difficult to enable nonguix than it is to enable any other repository.



I'm sorry, but if ask how to install Firefox and no one tells me in official channel or, worse, suggests alternative browser/fork of firefox. That's a pretty intentional way of making things hard.


I'm sure someone will tell you, perhaps privately. Everyone is quite nice there and no one is going around trying to shame people or kick them out.


I don't think anyone was implying malice, just that there was intent. Nothing wrong with having principles.
