While I may find that package personally useful for research of
various packages on multiple OS distributions, it is not for GNU ELPA,
IMHO, as GNU is all about free software and teaching people about free
software.
Package leads or guides people to research packages that are
proprietary software without giving any warning, at least in the
lookup function.
I do not find it useful for Emacs and alright for GNU ELPA as GNU is
about free software and this package is leading people to various OS
distributions that are not endorsed by the FSF and that provide
non-free software.
Additionally the lookup result does not provide license information
thus putting all proprietary software available from various package
repositories together with free sofware and leads people to
confusions.
For me this is no go for GNU ELPA.
