> What about other grub-extras?
We have analyzed those on a case-by-case basis. grub-extras
is a collection of 3rd party add-ons to GRUB. These don't
necessarily need to be made part of GRUB, but they're
useful in certain situations and this is why the grub-extras
project provides them.
We don't think there are legal problems with the code in
grub-extras, but when it comes to official GRUB we follow
high standards when it comes to this matter.
Legal issues are often underestimated, but they're
dangerous. One thing is to lose a feature, a different
one is leaving the GNU system without its bootloader.
