[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]] [[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]] [[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]] There is a big ethical problem with site melpa.org. It does not work at all unless the user executes Javascript code. Several pages of it. It does not seem to carry free software licenses. I determined this by trying to access it with IceCat. It blocked lots of Javascript. Even the most basic navigation does not work. I hope that we can get this fixed. John Wiegley, would you like to talk with them about it? However, for the moment, please do not post anything here referring people to melpa.org. Is there anything in the Emacs sources mentioning melpa.org? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
