If you really want to be anal-retentive about being letter-perfect to the intellectual property laws, swift maintains a standard boilerplate at . Therein, you shall find all the dry details about what our legal system considers appropriate use. On the other hand, if you don't care a whit about all that rubbish, I don't think anybody at Gentoo will object to that blurb you quoted. In any case, I suspect that tacking ™ symbols on the end of every mention of Gentoo will suffice to keep you clean. IANAL. I am probably wrong in many strange and dangerous ways. Use your own Judgment, Luke. --=20 Batou: Hey, Major... You ever hear of "human rights"?
