The copyright assignment policy contributes to the pointless ELPA vs MELPA schism. For those unfamiliar with Emacs, MELPA is where the majority of Emacs packages live. It should be usable by default.

You couldn't pay companies to incorporate Emacs' source in their non-free products. Nobody cares. This is a complete own goal.
