The packages in GNU ELPA really are part of GNU Emacs.  We get
copyright assignments for them, and we work on them just as if they
were in the Emacs core.  Indeed, we can move them between GNU ELPA and
the core when that is useful.

The packages in NonGNU ELPA are really not part of GNU Emacs, and you
can see that in every aspect of how we treat them.  We do not maintain
them; we do not host their development; we don't deal with their
copyrights.  They can't go into Emacs core.

All we do with them is inform users about the possibility of using
them.
