That's not at all the same kind of problem.  If you don't like the
style of code, rewrite it.  If it interacts with proprietary resources
(whether by license or by hiding in the cloud), that's a problem with
the resources, not with the downloaded code.  "Difficult to modify" !=
unfree or fraudulent.  After all, that's what Eric and Karl are saying
about Emacs itself. ;-)
