This is a long discussion. Some people, e.g. Bastien, think that "contrib" should be discontinued (my interpretation, hopefully faithful) in favor or GELPA or maybe Org-ELPA. Others, e.g. me, like to have "batteries included". This means keeping as much as possible in, preferably, "lisp", or at least "contrib". As such, the best outcome would be if Vaidheeswaran/Jamuthuan would maintain it in "lisp". My understanding is that there is no issues on the FSF/copyright side. I don=E2=80=99t know what the opinion of the Org devel= opers are, though. In this case, moving ox-freemind to GELPA might be the path of least resistance. As such, it seems like a good solution.
