I'm not sure I understand the reactions to the Xlibre project.
The quote from their website is:
This is an independent project, not at all affiliated with BigTech or any of their subsidiaries or tax evasion tools, nor any political activists groups, state actors, etc. It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed.
It doesn't matter which country you're coming from, your political views, your race, your sex, your age, your food menu, whether you wear boots or heels, whether you're furry or fairy, Conan or McKay, comic character, a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri, or just a boring average person. Anybody who's interested in bringing X forward is welcome.
That sounds inclusive to me, even if it does speak against "DEI" as a label.

Hello, Ekaitz Zarraga <eka...@elenq.tech> writes:So yeah, spacecadet, if you really want to continue to package it, we would add it to Guix, I don't think there's any policy in Guix against it (unless their documentation or so is also part of the package and includes political messages that promote any kind of discrimination).This is entirely correct. However, as a project, we have a code of conduct and generally work to be inclusive, which is apparently the exact opposite of what this people are doing. I think we can’t ignore it or we’d be sending the wrong signal. Thanks, Ludo’.
