Thank you for all the replies! I'll likely relicense my channel to GPL3(+). As
a bonus, this will also allow me to reuse parts of rde in the future.

I realized a while ago that, since pretty much all Guix channels have
to import some module from Guix (e.g. (guix packages)), it's basically
impossible for a Guix channel to have any license other than GPLv3 or

With further thought:

This would be a very dangerous interpretation and clearly go against the
spirit of the GPL: any proprietary software could use any GPL software

Hi Guix!
I realized a while ago that, since pretty much all Guix channels have to import
some module from Guix (e.g. (guix packages)), it's basically impossible for a
Guix channel to have any license other than GPLv3 or GPLv3+.
