Because that cd contains binary precomplied packages. Well, IANAL and as Stuart said the last word is up to trustees, but from my= =20 understanding, as long as the overlay contains only ebuilds, it has to be=20 treated as a source-only repository. In the moment you release a stage or a CD out of that overlay, you have to= =20 comply to GPL for the ebuilds, which means that the overlay has to be=20 available, and for the GPL software released in the stage/CD. The main difference that I can see from Debian (and based distributions) is= =20 that their packages are built out of the original sources (that might and=20 might not be GPL) and their debian/ directory (that is GPL). As I said, IANAL and I'm speaking only for myself not for anyone else. I on= ly=20 try to apply some logic to the text of GNU's GPL... although seems like log= ic=20 is overestimated with some people as we now see, unfortunately. If we have to resort to lawyers just to get a distro going, I think there's= =20 something entirely wrong with what the free software is today. =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=F2 - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE --nextPart1324946.zptearxxMW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEomR9e2h1+2mHVWMRAiWRAKDMJNHbkIH0H6T0qBI6QZUUUT/hdACgkCpi xRQiTBOsO6hafNuTR888fNU= =iYIr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1324946.zptearxxMW-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
