Hi,

I did not understand much of this description so I dig a bit and found
that Winetricks is a requirement for Protontricks, and that Winetricks
is a script to download non-free Windows software¹.  Did I get it right?

If that characterization is correct, we will not included in Guix as it
would contradict the Free System Distribution Guidelines (FSDG) that the
project follows, specifically the bit about not providing “recipes for
installation of particular nonfree programs”.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The Winetricks contain non-free software, though (which additionally is 
unlikely to be gpl3)?  E.g., one of its main uses is to install 
Microsoft's .NET implementation instead of Mono (this was at a time when 
it didn't have a free license IIRC).  More contemporary, going by 
https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/blob/master/files/verbs/dlls.txt , 
it downloads many other Microsoft things -- while some of them might be 
free, I would expect most of them to be non-free.

To compare with another distro, in Debian, it is sorted in 'contrib'.

Also, going by a 'Re: Hostile takeover of the matrix room', you are 
banned.  That means you aren't allowed to send messages to Guix anymore. 
Given there appear to be some technical problems involving debbugs, I'll 
try setting up a local filter.

Greetings,
Maxime.
