@khleedril @Ephera @ruffsl I use several nonfree packages, and binary packages (both free and nonfree). None of this can be added to the main Guix repo, but as GNU is about freedom, nothing stops me from packaging these as I see fit and distribute them freely to others to use.

So if you only use the main channel, you won't find nonfree software, but look at https://toys.whereis.social/
