And you're free to do so, and you will continue to be free to do so.
However, for very practical reasons, we need to move the module to the
archive in the source repository, as already explained in detail in

or your freedom to use any software you want.

"usefulness". It has everything to do with *being maintained*. Please
do not confuse those two.
