Gnus has already been split into non-FSF owned Gnus branches -- I
believe several of the T-Gnus, Chao-Gnus, Nana-Gnus, Et-Gnus,
Shoe-Gnus, Semi-Gnus etc branches includes, or included at some point
in time, non-FSF owned code that implements additional features.
FWIW, I'd contribute to the bundled version as well.
