"A Gentoo Operating System is an operating system that satisfies there requirements:" s/there/three Also, only one requirement is there: self-hosting. "A Gentoo Project is a project listed in the Gentoo Metastructure." It could be helpful to link to the metastructure page when it says "Gentoo Metastructure." In referencing free software, it could be helpful to link to the FSF's page describing exactly what that is. The first references seems to be: "free software developed by Gentoo Developers." The use of "depend" in Gentoo depending on non-free things remains unclear. Infrastructure, etc. When we say Gentoo, do we mean the whole Gentoo project or Gentoo Operating Systems? One could infer the latter from what the contract says, especially the Note, but it can't hurt to clarify it. The "We will not hide problems" clause should be changed to reflect occasional private bugs for personnel-related (and potentially security-related, although I don't think this is being done yet) issues.
