Candidate

Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/compile-teco-to-emacs-lisp
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-compile-teco-to-emacs-lisp-source at 962790f9d6fb5d7619953af3b5982736dbfc9cdf
Deliverable: Emacs extension that compiles ITS TECO to Emacs Lisp
User-facing tags: historical-computing, Emacs, TECO, editor-tool
Primary language: Emacs Lisp
Build ecosystem: Emacs byte compilation and ERT-style test files
SPDX disposition: NOASSERTION
License evidence: The Emacs Lisp compiler and tests have neither a repository license nor source-level grant.

License investigation blocker

README says it compiles ITS TECO buffers to Emacs Lisp, but the pinned tree has no license/notice file and neither the Emacs Lisp sources nor tests carries a license header.

The repository is public, non-archived, and nonempty, but the above evidence does not establish a Guix-acceptable redistribution license for the complete deliverable.

Packaging outlook

Expected packaging difficulty after license: easy.

Acceptance checks

Obtain and record an explicit, Guix-acceptable license or permission covering all shipped sources and assets.
Same-upstream coverage checked on 2026-08-15 against official GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix R Us, and RDE. No functional package referencing this exact upstream was found.
Create the package with the stated pinned source, build it, and run relevant functional checks.
