I have nothing against downstream projects in general.  That might be
a good way to handle MacOS support, if maintaining it in Emacs itself
is inconvenient.  (I seem to recall that that is the case, but I am
not sure.)

You mention that it doesn't follow all the GNU and FSF policies.
That might be very bad, or might not matter much, depending on the details 
not stated.

        (but quite open) platform.

One more illustration that "open" is insufficient.
