@mikegerwitz I respect that and as I wrote, it would be _considered_. If Google provides patches to make stuff better and also include a libre plugin - and this libre software uses an openly specified protocol - it's kind of the same situation as with URL shorteners or whatever. If the remote side can be libre it could also be proprietary. What we care about is that it doesn't _exclude_ libre remote services. (which it does for example if the Google URL is hardcoded etc, assuming Google Analytics will forever be proprietary).
