I can't see how we could in any way support such a repository.
Wouldn't using one of these "non-free" packages violate XEmacs' GPL?
Isn't it the same thing as non-free Debian packages?
I'm thinking of XEmacs packages as something standalone from XEmacs.
I can't see how it would violate the GPL to separately distribute a
package with another license?
The best would be if it was possible to get in touch with the authors
and change the license, but I have failed.
