I understood that it's a official part of the Guile project. Do I
misunderstood?

It's problematic : this is official part of GNOME. And GNOME remains
official part of GNU (despite it's leaders doing proprietary
software). How to classify non-GNU a subproject of a GNU Project? If a
project has been accepted to GNU, it means that every new package (or
subproject) their maintainers create for the project are GNU too? For
instance, gnomecc is GNU, despite the fact that no special announce
has been made about it.
